This climb seems harder than the paper suggests, particularly its last wall, straight up and at well 12％; in terms of intensity it's one of the hardest climbs in the area along with that of Le Bard just next door. If you consider the start from St Martin or even the barracks, this extends it suitably. The road is good and shady. It doesn't provide any special views, but the scenery at the top is nice to see.

Cette montée qui semble plus dur à faire que ce que la papier laisse penser, nottament son dernier mur, tout droit et à bien 12％ ; c’est en terme d’intensité une des montées les plus dur du coin avec celle du Bard juste à côté. Si on considère le début depuis St Martin ou même les baraques, cela la prolonge convenablement. La route est bonne et ombragée. Elle n’apporte pas une vue spéciale mais le paysage en haut est sympathique à voir. On redescend soit sur St Julien en prenant à droite, soit à St Martin à gauche.
