Quite a long climb, but unfortunately it takes place on a very busy road (car traffic + lorries).
Despite everything, it is part of the cotacol collection, so 3 stars!...read more

Ascension assez longue, mais qui se déroule malheuresement sur une route fort fréquentée (trafic automobile + camions)
elle fait malgré tout partie du recueil des cotacol, donc 3 étoiles!

A fine climb, but one to be avoided whenever possible because of the traffic. The first part is difficult to overtake, then the long, straight false flat is really dangerous.
Belle ascension mais à éviter autant que possible à cause du trafic. Dans la première partie le dépassement est difficile, ensuite le long faux plat rectiligne est vraiment dangereux.

many years ago it was the final of the flêche wallonne, but now with the big shopping centre at the foot, there is a lot of traffic, but the climb is good with half in the woods and then between the houses.
il y a x années c'était le final de la flêche wallonne, mais maintenant avec le gros centre commercial au pied, il y a beaucoup de circulation sinon la montée est bien avec la moitié dans les bois puis entres les maisons

Nice climb in combination with the Wall of Huy. Good asphalt and a nice runner. You also avoid a piece of stinking city. At the top turn left and you descend via the Rue de Cherave to the Wall (attention! steep descent).
Leuke klim in combi met de Muur van Huy. Prima asvalt en een lekkere loper. Je ontloopt daarmee ook een stukje stinkstad. Bovenaan naar links en je daalt via de Rue de Cherave af naar de Muur (let op! steile afdaling).

Once you think you've finished with the climb, there's a long, windy false flat that requires you to push your legs. Sir Strava says it's more than 5 km long.
Une fois qu'on pense en avoir fini avec la côte, s'ensuit un long faux plat balayé par le vent qui demande de pousser sur les jambes. Sir Strava, elle fait d'ailleurs plus de 5 km.
