Spicy climb with the steepest sections at the start and just before the top. Very bad road surface, the asphalt is very rough and crumbled in places, especially on the descent. In itself a nice place to cycle though... read more

Pittige klim met de steilste stukken aan het begin en net voor de top. Als je vanuit Confrides komt, loopt het al een heel stuk langer bergop dan enkel deze weg. Heel slecht wegdek, het asfalt is zeer ruw en op sommige plaatsen verbrokkeld, vooral opletten in de afdaling. Op zich mooie plek om te fietsen wel
