Een doodlopende klim in dit gedeelte van de Pyreneeën staat garant voor een solorit.
Op de kilometeraanduidingen heeft hij een andere naam, verwijzend naar de ijzermijnen die in het veleden gebruikt werden.
In het begin kan hij soms aardig pittig zijn, maar achter Corsavy kun je hiervan bijkomen.
Als je boven bent kun je de weg nog 1km vervolgen tot achter Refuge de Batère en heb je hem helemaal bedwongen.
