Climbed on 10 August 2023 from the La Selle d'Andon side (junction of D5 and D 79). Nice climb, good road surface, little traffic. Nice views. Recommended. At the top of the col, the col sign has disappeared. However, a small monument due to a crashed B25 bomber (US) from the 2nd WW. Added some photos's. In warm and sunny weather a hot climb though (lots of sun).... read more

Beklommen op 10 augustus 2023 vanaf de zijde La Selle d'Andon (kruising D5 en D 79). Mooie klim, goed wegdek, weinig verkeer. Mooie uitzichten. Aanrader. Boven op de col is het colbord verdwenen. Wel een monumentje vanwege een neergestorte B25 bommenwerper (VS) uit de 2e WO. Enkele foto's toegevoegd. Bij warm en zonnig weer wel een hete klim (veel zon).
