Zelf zou ik deze niet als een lange klim kwantificeren, maar het is meer een samenstelling van enkele korte klimmetjes. Je fietst vooral door kleine dorpjes of buurtschappen vanuit Spa. Tussen Cockaifagne en Hockay is er een strook erg slecht wegdek. Eigenlijk wordt de klim vanaf Hockay pas echt de moeite waard. Je gaat hier dan een bos in gevolgd door een leuk afdalinkje.
My Garmin split this climb into 2 separate climbs, which I understand due to the 2km descent after 4km. The second part in particular was a good (new) introduction to a longer climb for me. The road is quite nice, quiet and generally stays at achievable percentages.
Mijn Garmin splits deze klim in 2 losse klimmen, wat ik door de 2km lange afdaling na 4km ook wel snap. Met name het tweede deel was voor mij een goede (nieuwe) kennismaking met een langere klim. De weg is vrij aardig, rustig en blijft over het algemeen op haalbare percentages.
I did the mur des ardennes and it was a relief (as all the rest are giant calves) but also very nice as there was little traffic on most parts, very smooth running so ideal to have a chat and quite beautiful surroundings.
Tijdens de mur des ardennes gedaan en dit was een verademing (aangezien al de rest gigantisch kuitenbijters zijn) maar ook zeer leuk want weinig verkeer op de meeste stukken, zeer soepel lopend dus ideaal om een babbeltje te doen en best mooie omgeving.
Not worthwhile scenically compared to other climbs from Spa. But because of the, for the Ardennes, above average length and the varying percentages, with sometimes descending parts, it is a nice work-out if you are in the neighbourhood.
Landschappelijk niet de moeite waard in vergelijking met andere klimmen vanuit Spa. Maar door de voor de Ardennen bovengemiddelde lengte en hiernaast de wisselende percentages, met soms stukken dalen, wel een leuke work-out als je in de buurt bent.
