A short, quiet kilometre to warm up, then the gradient becomes terrifying and, apart from crossing the hamlet of Le Lancieux, never drops below 11-12％ with sections of 15-18％
After the terminus sign, there's still a short stretch of road, not in very good condition, to go as far as the Vonezins farm, which also serves as a restaurant.
This ascent of La Closette was the last of our day after those of La Blonnière, Le Sappey and Montremond. We had planned 2 others and, given the difficulty, it was more prudent and reasonable to enjoy a good day out.
Thank you to the Climbfinder website for helping me discover these magnificent and sometimes very wild places, away from the hustle and bustle of the major passes.
1 petit kilomètre tranquille pour l'échauffement puis la pente devient terrifiante et à part dans la traversée du hameau de Le Lancieux , elle ne descendra jamais sous les 11-12％ avec des passages 15-18％
Après le panneau du terminus il reste une petite portion de Rte pas en très bon état pour aller jusqu'à la ferme des Vonezins qui fait aussi restaurant.
Cette ascension de la Closette fut la dernière de notre journée après celles de La Blonnière, Le Sappey et Montremond, nous avions prévu 2 autres et au vu de la difficulté il était plus prudent et raisonnable de rester sur une bonne journée dans le plaisir.
Merci au site Climbfinder de me faire découvrir ces endroits magnifiques et parfois très sauvages à l'écart du brouhaha des grands cols.

La monté est très dure physiquement avec une pente moyenne de plus de 10 ％ sur plus de 5 km. La monté est un cul de sac, mais elle vaut le détour.
