Ondertussen is er wel een nieuwe laag perfecte asfalt over de oude gelegd en deze week ondervonden dat ze regelmatig de steentjes met een borstelwagen verwijderen. En Paret-Peintre weegt 52 kg voor 176 m en geen 62 kg.

Never done such an irregular and erratic climb before. The road surface is excellent but watch out for stones on the road, especially the last km. The first 4 km is the procession of Echternacht. 3 steps up and 2 flat or downhill. But the last km is really crazy. Average 15.7％ and with stretches of 21％ . During the last km, the stretches of 12％ are the so-called recovery stretches if you can call it that. Fortunately, it was my first day and for the 2nd time in my life I rode under 5km per hour. One can call this a mini-Angliru but there they ride 6km at these percentages and even up to 26.3 ％. I also did a similar climb in the Drome. If you are in the area an absolute must if you like such walls. Actually, the last km is no longer a wall but a climbing wall. Do watch out when descending along this side for the pebbles. Fortunately, I was riding an MTB and with disc brakes because ordinary brake pads melt or jump off. Also the first few hundred metres of the descent other side is extremely steep with also 21％.
DOOn this climb, the lightweight Paret Peintre , 62 kg for 176 cm, could beat Pogacar.

Nog nooit zulk een onregelmatige en grillige beklimming gedaan. Het wegdek is uitstekend wel oppassen voor steentjes op de weg vooral de laatste km. De eerste 4 km is het de processie van Echternacht. 3 stappen omhoog en 2 vlak of bergaf. Maar de laatste km is echt zot. Gemiddeld 15,7％ en met stukken van 21％ . Tijdens de laatste km zijn de stukken van 12％ de zogenaamde recuperatie stukken als je dit zo mag noemen. Gelukkig was het mijn eerste dag en voor de 2de keer in mijn leven dat ik onder de 5km per uur reed. Men kan dit een mini-Angliru noemen maar daar rijden ze 6 km aan deze percentages en zelfs tot 26,3 ％. Ook in de Drome heb ik een soortgelijke beklimming gedaan. Als je in de buurt bent een absolute aanrader als je van zulke muren houdt. Eigenlijk is de laatste km geen muur meer maar een klimmuur. Wel opletten als je daalt langs deze kant voor de steentjes. Gelukkig reed ik met een MTB en met schijfremmen want gewone remblokken smelten weg of springen er af. Ook de eerste honderden meters van de afdaling andere zijde is extreem steil met ook 21％.
DOp deze klim zou de lichtgewicht Paret Peintre , 62 kg voor 176 cm, Pogacar kunnen kloppen.

At the very beginning of the climb there is a 21％ sign, which is definitely not true there yet (but that will come a piece later).... The climb consists of two parts. The first between the few houses around 8％ max. And actually steep and then almost horizontal sections alternate. Then it even descends for a while. Then gradually steeper After the second 21％ sign, the real work starts. And really that is hard work... If necessary, you can turn right on the col to a memorial and a cave house. This summer, they laid new pipes near the houses at the start of the climb. afterwards, the road was sort of fringed with asphalt. Going up is still possible. But descending is not recommended. For this reason, I advise everyone to mainly climb in this direction (ascending from the south is easier). Otherwise it is a quiet little road uphill. Beautiful surroundings and hot in summer (like everywhere here)

Helemaal aan het begin van de klim staat een bord 21％, dat is daar nog zeker niet waar (maar dat komt vanzelf een stukkie later).... De klim bestaat uit twee delen. Het eerste tussen de enkele huizen rond de 8％ max. En eigenlijk wisselen steile en dan bijna horizontale delen zich af. Daarna daalt het zelfs even. Daarna geleidelijk steiler Na het tweede bord 21％ begint het echte werk. En echt dat is stevig afzien... Eventueel kun je op de col naar rechts gaan naar een gedenkteken en een grotwoning. Deze zomer hebben ze bij de huizen aan het begin vd klim nieuwe leidingen gelegd. nadien is de weg soort van dicht gefrunnikt met asfalt. Stijgend gaat nog. Maar dalen is af te raden. Om die reden raad ik iedereen aan om vooral in deze richting te stijgen (stijgen vanuit het zuiden is wel makkelijker). Verder is het een rustig weggetje omhoog. Mooie omgeving en heet in de zomer (zoals overal hier)

From La Roque you leave the built-up area behind you. The road is erratic, up and down. After the 21％ sign, the first hairpin bends appear and it's another kilometre downhill.

Vanuit La Roque laat je de bebouwde kom achter je. de weg loopt grillig, op en af. Na het bord met 21％ komen de eerste haarspeldbochten en is het nog een kilometer af zien.

It's a small hill that gets steeper and steeper, with some God-awful sections! It's best to climb it in the middle of the day! (:-)
Lovely views! Limited traffic! The descent behind the pass is extremely steep for the first 200 metres! So be careful!

Petite cote de plus en plus pentue avec des passages de Dieu le Père ! Le mieux est de la gravir hors milieu de journée ! (:-)
Jolies vues ! Circulation limitée ! La descente derrière le col est extrêmement pentue sur les 200 premiers mètres ! Attention !
