"Hückinghausen Mortirolo" is the grandiloquent name of this section on Strava. Although the segment was incorrectly placed on Strava and does not quite reach the 13％ average gradient, parallels can be recognised here and there. At the beginning, it's important to find a fluid rhythm that doesn't completely exhaust you. Although the gradient decreases continuously, there is only a noticeable levelling off after 1.3 km. You then already have a wonderful view of the neighbouring valleys and hills. You then reach the small village of Hückinghausen, where you can start the final spurt. Here, however, it can get tricky again, especially the exit from the village is full of bends and, if you want to take the last combination of bends directly, you will reach an estimated 20％. A clear 4 stars, such a steep climb over 200 metres in altitude and over asphalt is rare even in the Sauerland.

"Hückinghausen Mortirolo", so lautet die großspurige Bezeichnung dieses Abschnitts auf Strava. Wenngleich das Segment bei Strava falsch gesetzt wurde und nicht ganz die 13％-Durchschnittssteigung erreicht werden, so sind doch hier und da Parallelen erkennbar. Am Anfang gilt es einen flüssigen Rhythmus zu finden, der einen nicht komplett verausgabt. Denn wenngleich die Steigung kontinuierlich abnimmt, ist erst ab 1,3km eine nennenswerte Abflachung spürbar. Man hat dann bereits einen wunderbaren Blick in die angrenzenden Täler und Hügel. Dann erreicht man die kleine Ortschaft Hückinghausen, in der man bereits zum Schlussspurt ansetzen kann. Hier kann es aber nochmal tückisch werden, insbesondere die Ortsausfahrt ist kurvenreich und erreicht dadurch, möchte man insbesondere die letzte Kurvenkombination direkt nehmen, schätzungsweise bis 20％. Klare 4 Sterne, ein solch steiler Anstieg über 200 Höhenmeter und über Asphalt ist selbst im Sauerland selten anzutreffen.
