Cars in either direction can hardly pass and I went off "road" a few times to give way. Summit sign just after the auberge, in a wide open field.

Insane grades on a badly damaged - mostly gravel, some patches of bad tarmac until you leave the forest - and narrow road.

Tough climb with few "rest stops", but fantastically beautiful among the forests.
The road is not fully asphalted and there are pebbles on some sections. But all in all doable with the racing bike.
Stevige klim met weinig “rustpauzes”, wel fantastisch mooi tussen de bossen.
De weg is niet volledig geasfalteerd en op sommige stukken liggen steentjes. Maar al bij al doenbaar met de koersfiets.
The road is well damaged by the logging machines, even transformed into a track in some places (tarmacking is not very likely due to these activities)
Long slopes without respite before leaving the forest and being able to breathe a little.
Road to be avoided on the way down: prefer the track that leads to the Aspin pass, not in good condition either (for the same reason as the climb from Payolle) but with limited slopes that allow you to go down gently without heating up the brakes.

Route bien défoncée par les engins d'exploitation forestière, transformée même en piste par endroit (regoudronnage peu probable compte tenu de ces activités)
Longues pentes sans répit avant de sortir de la forêt et pouvoir un peu respirer.
Route à éviter en descente : lui préférer la piste qui permet de rejoindre le col d'Aspin, pas en bonne état non plus (pour la même raison que la montée depuis Payolle) mais avec des pentes limitées permettant de descendre doucement sans faire chauffer les freins.
