I did this climb after the Tudons climb, and it is really tough. Parts of 18-20％ seem to last forever. You also have to like gravel because the road changes to unpaved in some parts, also in the descent, so you have to be careful. But that makes the challenge of getting to the top all the more beautiful!... read more

Deze klim gedaan na de beklimming van de Tudons, en deze is toch echt heel zwaar hoor. Stukken van 18-20％ die eindeloos lijken te duren. Je moet ook een beetje van gravelen houden want de weg gaat op sommige stukken over in onverhard, ook in de afdaling dus best opletten. Maar dat maakt de uitdaging om boven te geraken alleen maar extra mooi!
