7/10 Quite a nice climb. Nice and quiet and there is and new layer of asphalt over it because I didn't notice anything of the bad road surface. A bit steeper at first with some turns, then nice and quiet through the fields over a billiard cloth :)... read more

7/10 Best een mooie beklimming. Lekker rustig en er ligt en nieuwe laag asfalt overheen want ik heb niets gemerkt van het slechte wegdek. Eerst wat steiler met wat bochten, daarna mooi en rustig door de velden over een biljartlaken :)

The climb as such is nice, steep start and then moderate climb through the fields (wind can play a role). But the road surface is a disaster, especially in the long stretch through the fields once you've done the first steep part. You really bump from hole to hole, and when it's wet, I think it will even be worse to ride here. For that reason, best to avoid it and take one of the alternative climbs to get from the valley to Izier.

In terms of percentages, views and length it is a nice climb. But I try to avoid it in the future, because of the road surface. Pavé à l'Ardenne. Do you know the cobblestones of the Wall of Geraardsbergen? They are better than some sections of this climb. Maybe I exaggerate a bit, but the road looks like hell. And as a descent it is totally avoidable.

Wat betreft de percentages, het uitzicht en de lengte is het een leuke klim. Maar ik probeer hem in het vervolg toch te vermijden, en dat vanwege het wegdek. Pavé à l'Ardenne. Ken je de kasseien van de Muur van Geraardsbergen? Die rijden beter dan sommige stroken van deze klim. Misschien overdrijf ik wat, maar de weg ziet er niet uit. En als afdaling is het helemaal te vermijden.

Quite a nice climb - a bit of zig-zagging to avoid the pits, but certainly doable (descended it today, and even that was mostly ok).

Best wel een mooie klim - op sommige stukken wat zig-zaggen om de putten te mijden, maar zeker goed te doen hoor (heb hem vandaag afgedaald, en zelfs dat ging voor het grootste deel ok)
