Steep variant of the climb towards Corcovado/Criste Redentor, where instead of turning onto Rua Alice from Laranjeiras, you just keep going straight ahead on Rua das Laranjeiras / Rua Cosme Velho. This variant is clearly a lot steeper, but also clearly a lot less popular. Whether this is due to the gradient or the cobblestones, I dare not say.... read more

Steep variant of the climb towards Corcovado/Criste Redentor, where instead of turning onto Rua Alice from Laranjeiras, you just keep going straight ahead on Rua das Laranjeiras / Rua Cosme Velho.

Loeisteile variant van de beklimming richting Corcovado/Criste Redentor, waar je ipv vanuit Laranjeiras de Rua Alice inslaat, gewoon rechtdoor blijft rijden over de Rua das Laranjeiras / Rua Cosme Velho. Deze variant is duidelijk een stuk steiler, maar ook duidelijk een stuk minder populair. Of dat door de hellingsgraad of de kasseien komt durf ik niet te zeggen.
