The start straight at 10％ is impressive and rather demoralising. The top is pretty good but I'm remembering it as a difficult pass, although it's rather shady. No view from the summit.... read more

La ligne droite de départ à 10％ est impressionnante et plutôt démoralisante. Le haut est assez bien mais j'ai le souvenir d'un col difficile, bien qu'il soit plutôt à l'ombre. Pas de vue au sommet.
