In itself, the climb is not hidden at all, as the ascent along the terrace houses is actually quite visible, but to get there you have to zigzag a bit, and may not be so obvious to cycle into this apparent residential area. If you make this climb, however, you'll be treated to stunning views over Houffalize. Halfway up you do have to get out of the saddle for a while because of the high gradient, and this doesn't really diminish as you continue your way to the right via Rue Panorama, The road surface is not particularly good for the first half of the climb, but halfway up it gets better. Meanwhile, you are then treated to some nice views of Houffalize on the right between the houses. Once on top of the plateau, you have a great view of the Cote Saint-Roch.
An absolute gem of a climb!!!!
Op zich ligt de klim helemaal niet verborgen, want de opgang langs de terraswoningen is juist heel goed te zien, maar om er te komen moet je even zigzaggen. Daarnaast ligt het wellicht niet zo voor de hand om langs deze terraswoningen te gaan fietsen. Als je deze klim echter maakt, wordt je over je linkerschouder getrakteerd op een prachtig uitzicht over Houffalize. Halverwege moet je wel even uit het zadel vanwege het hoge stijgingspercentage, en dat neemt niet echt af als je je weg rechtsaf via de Rue Panorama vervolgt, Het wegdek is de eerste helft van de klim niet bijster goed, maar halverwege de weg omhoog wordt het beter. Ondertussen word je dan rechts tussen de huizen door nog op wat mooie uitzichten op Houffalize getrakteerd. Eenmaal bovenop het plateau heb je een prachtig uitzicht op de Cote Saint-Roch.
Een absoluut juweeltje van een klim!!!!
