I'd say that two thirds of the climb is acceptable but from 5/6km onwards it just wants to finish us off at an average of 21％ 💀 it's one of the worst climbs I've ever done especially as on the descent at the start well you're scared because it's too steep!... read more

Je dirais que les deux tiers de la montée sont acceptables mais à partir de 5/6km elle veut tout simplement nous terminer 21％ de moyenne 💀ça fait partie des pires montées que j’ai jamais faite surtout que dans la descente au début ben t’as peur parce que c’est trop plongeant!
