A strong climb - short but very steep.
It requires not only a lot of strength, but also good technique, as it's not difficult to tear the front wheel off the pavement (it was because of such a mistake that I didn't manage to go up it all at once).
On top of that, the road is narrow, so it's hard to make things easier for yourself by riding slalom.

A very big cycling challenge. Hard to ride up in one go. To keep the front wheel loaded I rode it on the top of the saddle slung over the handlebars. The road is narrow, with room for only one car, The gradient is so steep that it's hard to ride with a high cadence, riding in you don't gain any momentum. Every turn of the crank requires a lot of force.
Bardzo duże wyzwanie rowerowe. Ciężko podjechać za jednym razem. Żeby utrzymać dociążone przednie koło jechałem go na czubku siodełka przewieszony przez kierownicę. Droga jest wąska, z miejscem tylko na jeden samochód, Nachylenie jest tak mocne, że ciężko jest jechać z wysoką kadencją, wjeżdżając nie nabiera się żadnego pędu. Każdy obrót korby wymaga użycia dużej siły.

There's not a lot of traffic, but when there's something coming, it's not easy to pass - you have to pull over almost to the edge of the road and keep a straight line, which is not that trivial with such a steep gradient.
Mocny podjazd - krótki, ale bardzo stromy.
Wymaga nie tylko sporo siły, ale i dobrej techniki, bo nietrudno oderwać przednie koło od nawierzchni (właśnie przez taki błąd nie dałem rady podjechać go naraz).
Do tego droga jest wąska, więc ciężko sobie ułatwiać przez jazdę slalomem.
Ruch samochodowy niewielki, ale jak już coś jedzie, to nie jest łatwo się minąć - trzeba zjechać niemal do samej krawędzi drogi i trzymać prosty tor jazdy, co przy takim nastromieniu nie jest wcale takie trywialne.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laskowa is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
Laskowa is a serious climb and falls into the 2nd category. With a good basic fitness level, even without much cycling experience, you can complete this climb just fine.
