A fairly irregular climb that feels a bit messy especially at the beginning due to the poor road surface and changing profile. This makes it difficult to find a good rhythm right away.

Een vrij onregelmatige klim die vooral in het begin wat rommelig aanvoelt door het slechte wegdek en het wisselende profiel. Daardoor is het lastig om meteen een goed ritme te vinden.
