Very irregular climb with stretches well over 10％, but occasionally it is also almost flat. This irregularity makes it a tough climb. At the top, beautiful views with the high Pyrenean peaks on one side, and the foothills and vast landscapes on the other. Had a puncture on this climb and had to patch the tyre almost at the top....
