This second variant from Messina is also more challenging in the lower, steeper section, but leads through a more scenic area with a rewarding view to the south.

This second variant from Messina is also more challenging in the lower, steeper section, but leads through a more scenic area with a rewarding view to the south. In my opinion, this makes this section more attractive than the alternative that starts from the motorway bridge.
As soon as you turn into the shared, second half, the climbing becomes more relaxed.
However, the big disadvantage of both climbs remains the direct ascent from the city - the first few kilometres through Messina are stressful depending on the traffic situation and diminish the overall impression.
If you have Messina as your starting point anyway, I would give the climb a 4/5. But if you have travelled all the way from Messina and have to fight your way through the heavy city traffic, then I would give it 2.5/5.

Diese zweite Variante ab Messina ist ebenfalls im unteren, steileren Abschnitt anspruchsvoller, führt aber durch einen landschaftlich schöneren Bereich mit lohnenswertem Blick Richtung Süden. Das macht diesen Teil meiner Meinung nach attraktiver als die Alternative, die ab der Autobahnbrücke startet.
Sobald man in die gemeinsame, zweite Hälfte einbiegt, wird das Klettern entspannter.
Der große Nachteil beider Anstiege bleibt allerdings die direkte Auffahrt aus der Stadt – die ersten Kilometer durch Messina sind je nach Verkehrslage stressig und mindern den Gesamteindruck.
Wenn man ohnehin Messina als Startpunkt hat, würde ich dem Anstieg eine 4/5 geben. Kommt man aber extra angereist und muss sich erst durch den dichten Stadtverkehr kämpfen, dann eher nur 2,5/5.
