Concordo con Vortexmind: trafficata soprattutto da camion della vicina cava di cemento. In zona è conosciuta come "Il muro del Bagnolo".
Utile per passare dalla Val Nure alla Val Trebbia senza perdere troppo tempo

Pretty short climb, with some steep gradients. I don't particularly like it since there can be cars and trucks traffic. In winter there can be sleet/ice on the road since it is north facing. Descending is also dangerous since the road ends in a turn of the main Val Nure road. Plenty of better climb choices around here.
