The road is really very good, and I was pleasantly surprised given that it's a very little-used road. I didn't pass a single car on the way up. The gradient is steep but steady, a pleasant climb in a region where the gradients are often quite low.... read more

La route est vraiment très bonne, j'étais agréablement surpris étant donné qu'il s'agit d'une route très peu empruntée. Je n'ai croisé aucune voiture durant l'ascension. La pente est raide mais régulière, une montée sympa dans la région où les pourcentages sont souvent assez faibles.

A nice steady climb with some rougher sections, but no traffic and a good road.

Nice climb, but I don't exactly recognise the profile of the climb I made. It starts with 150 metres of flat. The main part of the climb, and the most difficult, is 2000 metres of 10-11％ gradient (fairly regular). After that, the gradient gradually decreases until you reach the stele of the maquis de la Prune.
The road is fine and there is very little traffic.

Belle ascension, mais je ne reconnais pas exactement le profil de la montée que j'ai faite. Elle débute par 150 mètres de plat. La partie principale de la montée, et la plus difficile, fait 2000 mètres de pente à 10-11％ (assez régulière). Ensuite, la pente diminue progressivement jusqu'à la stèle du maquis de la Prune.
La route est correcte et il y a très peu de circulation.

Following your comment, I took a close look at the profile and recalculated it by comparing it with topographical maps. I then adjusted it, and I think it's now more accurate! Thanks for your feedback.

Suite à votre commentaire, j'ai examiné attentivement le profil et l'ai recalculé en le comparant avec des cartes topographiques. Ensuite, je l'ai ajusté, et je pense que maintenant il est plus précis ! Merci pour vos remarques.

Hidden behind the hamlet of Marnaves lies this nasty climb. Parts of almost 20％, but a good road surface and little traffic.

Verscholen achter het gehucht Marnaves ligt deze gemene klim. Stukken van tegen de 20％, maar een prima wegdek en maar weinig autoverkeer.
