First stretch is hellish, going towards the 20％, 2nd stretch is over gravel, but lies very badly so not doable with course bike.

Eerste stuk is hels, gaat richting de 20％, 2e stuk is over grind, maar ligt heel slecht dus niet te doen met koersfiets.

A more difficult variant of the Côte de Gives climb, which here cuts out the few big bends to climb in a more straight line. The route is fine, except on the last, more difficult section, where it is more like gravel.
On the Cotacol list, so well worth the diversions.

Variante plus difficile de l'ascension de la Côte de Gives, qui ici coupe les quelques grands virages pour monter de façon plus rectiligne. La route est correcte, sauf sur la dernière partie plus difficile, où cela ressemble plus du gravel.
Dans la liste des Cotacol, donc vaut le détour.

Climb for gravel as you go over paths twice to cut the climb and as the climb goes straight up the ％ are much greater than the version on the road

Montée pour gravel car on passe deux fois par des sentiers pour couper la montée et comme la montée se fait tout droit les ％ sont beaucoup plus important que la version sur la route
