Superb climb. Steep and a real challenge especially in mid summer! Few cars and those on the road were very respectful, giving me space on each hairpin. Surface good. ... read more

A must do. Terribly steep the first few kilometres. Reward is the stunning views of the hairpin bends and Libyan Sea.

Een must do. Verschrikkelijk steil de eerste kilometers. Beloning is het prachtige uitzicht op de haarspeldbochten en Libische Zee.

This is brutal , the surface is good , its south facing so it gets the sun bearing all its southern med power on it . The switchbacks give some respite , but not as much as you’d like . You’ll only need one gear - your easiest and you’ll still think you haven’t got enough.
