Aan de start is het even heel stijl. Dan daalt het terug over slecht wegdek en is het heel goed opletten in de haakse bocht. Nadien gaat het nog even door over matig wegdek en tussen wat velden. Je eindigt in een klein bosje. Zo goed als geen verkeer.
There are few climbs with such different characters within them as this one. The first section rises - sometimes really steeply - from a very pretty stream valley over perfect tarmac on a car-free road. Near the farm (and the first summit), the road suddenly gets a lot worse and stays that way until the end of the climb - also in the intermediate descent where it is really careful because it ends in a right-angled bend (which is hard to see because of the trees) full of holes and grit. Then the road rises again - and through beautiful scenery - until the end.
Er zijn weinig klimmen met daarbinnen zulke verschillende karakters als deze. Het eerste deel stijgt - soms echt steil - uit een heel fraai beekdalletje over perfect asfalt over een autovrij weggetje. Bij de boerderij (en de eerste top) wordt de weg ineens een stuk slechter en dat blijft zo tot het eind van de klim - ook in de tussentijdse afdaling waar het echt opletten is omdat deze eindigt in een haakse bocht (die vanwege de bomen moeilijk zichtbaar is) vol gaten en gruis. Daarna stijgt de weg weer - en door een mooie omgeving - tot het eind.
