Nice and easy climb but when i rode it the road was full of gravel. They had put a layer of gravel on top of the tarmac. So i had to ride it slow and try to find some good lanes.... read more

Nice climb with especially a tough start. Starting this climb from this side means you have to dose the first km, otherwise you'll get very sour. The road is very steep up until the first hairpin. Then it goes steadily up until just before the mini center of le poet Celard where you have to turn left, a hairpin with again very steep gradients. But after 300 meters the way back is less steep. The last steeper part you have just past campsite le couspeau, a fantastic campsite and highly recommended, then the road goes up slowly with even some slightly descending strips to the main road between Bourdeaux and Dielefit.

Leuke klim met vooral een zwaar begin. Langs deze kant deze beklimming aanvatten is echt doseren de eerste km want anders geraak je durect verzuurd. De weg loopt zeer steil op tot aan de eerste haakse haarspeldbocht. Daarna loopt het gestaag omhoog tot juist voor het mini centrum van le poet Celard waar je linksaf moet , een haarspeldbocht met weer zeer steile stijgingspercentages . Maar na 300 meter is de weg terug wat minder steil. Het laatste steilere deel heb je dan weer juist voorbij camping le couspeau, een fantastische camping en echte aanrader, daarna loopt de weg nog langzaam op met zelfs enkele licht dalende stroken tot aan de grote baan tussen Bourdeaux en Dielefit.
