Very irregular climb, with very steep percentages, especially in the first part, easily exceeding 10％. The last part is much less steep. The beautiful views at the top are more than worth this climb.

Enjoyable ride though hard to get a rhythm due to changing gradients. Plenty of climbing to get to Castell in the first place.
