The climb is not particularly beautiful or heavy. Little shade. It is worth it to look back sometimes and the views are good. The descent on the other side is great (the climb from that side also) the turns are nice and you can drive well or enjoy the rock walls next to the road. Very impressive. I would recommend this climb especially for the descent. It gets cold quickly because the sun doesn't come through the walls and there can be a treacherous wind.... read more

De klim is niet perse mooi zwaar of bijzonder. Weinig schaduw. Is het wel waard om soms eens om te kijken dan zijn de uitzichten goed. De afdaling aan de andere kant is geweldig(de klim vanaf die kant ook) de bochten lopen lekker en je kan goed doorrijden of genieten van de rotswanden naast de weg. Erg indrukwekkend. Deze klim zou ik vooral aanraden voor de afdaling. Het is er wel snel koud doordat de zon niet tot nauwelijks tussen de wanden komt en er kan een verraderlijke wind waaien.

Not too exciting climb, but the descent of 20km to Chatillion de Dios is very nice. Impressive rock formations make it beautiful cycling.

Niet al te spannende klim, maar de afdaling van 20km naar chatillion de dios is erg mooi. Indrukwekkende rotsformaties maken het mooi fietsen.
