What a beautiful climb this is ! More and more beautiful views of the ocean that lies more and more below you. The road meanders beautifully up the rock face. The first part in La Cruces is so steep that my front wheel came up. That is about 150 meters above the 20％, but for the rest it is a fine slope.... read more

Worth the drive, beautiful views, interesting built-up area on a huge gradient. Good asphalt, not a lot of traffic !

Wat een prachtige klim is dit ! Steeds mooiere vergezichten op de oceaan die meer en meer onder je komt te liggen. De weg slingert prachtig tegen de rotswand omhoog. Het eerste deel in La Cruces is zo steil dat mijn voorwiel omhoog kwam. Dat is even circa 150 meter boven de 20％, maar verder is het een prima hellingspercentage.
