Fantastic climb. The road is perfectly smooth, and traffic is almost nonexistent. During the entire ascent, only two cars passed me. There are some fairly steep sections, and it's certainly a demanding climb, but I wouldn't say it's particularly difficult. It's definitely worth doing. The views, like everywhere in the area, are phenomenal.

After you begin to believe that you can make it there is a series of tough hairpins that try to break you and your chain. But the worst comes after them, around 5kms after leaving Torvizcón - the straight section is so relentlessly steep that I had to get off the bike and push it for a moment. The only such place in the area that defeated me. The last three kilometers are a walk in the park, leading you to an intersection - I suggest turning right to Haza del Lino to get a few more vertical meters.
Great views, perfect road surface, absolutely no traffic - no one will hear your cries of pain.
