Nice climb, from this side you have nice views of the impressive NATO site. The climb starts with a very steep climb of 8 altimeters at over 10% not visible on the profile of climb, After this it is slightly convex until you turn left. After turning right it goes up steeply, this definitely feels heavier than the profile of climb shows. Once at the top you have a nice view, too bad it dead-ends here, and you have to turn right to continue your trek. Good to do once but I won't be returni... read more

Leuke beklimming, vanaf deze kant heb je mooi uitzicht op de indrukwekkende NAVO-site. De klim begint met een zeer steile klim van 8 hoogtemeters aan meer dan 10% die niet zichtbaar zijn op het profiel van de klim, Hierna is het licht bollend totdat je links opdraait. Na het rechts opdraaien gaat het steil omhoog, dit voelt zeker zwaarder aan dan het profiel van klim weergeeft. Eens boven heb je een mooi uitzicht, jammer dat het hier dood loopt, en dat je rechtsomkeer moet maken om je tocht verder te zetten. Goed voor een keer te doen maar ik ga hier niet regelmatig terugkomen.
