It's clearly not the most energetic of climbs to Mont Cassel. The first part is rather dull and boring. And, as Lucas says, the wind can be clever... The second part is much more exciting, but we've already seen it, as it's the same as the second two parts of the route. None of the Cassel slopes are unpleasant, but other routes are more exciting (see commentary on the Porte d'Aire).... read more

Ce n’est clairement pas la plus sémillante des montées vers le Mont Cassel. La première partie est assez ennuyeuse et morne. Et comme l’écrit Lucas, le vent peut se montrer malin…
La seconde partie est nettement plus excitante mais, on la connaît déjà puisqu’elle est commune avec celle de deux autres versants.
Aucun des versants du Cassel n’est désagréable, mais d’autres chemins sont plus emballants (cf commentaire sur la Porte d’Aire).

Compared to the difficulty rating given by Climbfinder, this side of Cassel is "norma" compared to the others on Cassel. But I find this climb difficult and it's done in 2 stages. At the start, flat + uphill where you're often exposed to the wind, you don't want to burn out and save some for the rest. In between, there's a false flat and a stop sign that can slow you down. And the final part, hard, 9-10％ as we take the inside of the bends because of the traffic. A good climb for training

Par rapport à la difficulté attribuée par Climbfinder, ce versant de Cassel est "norma" par rapport aux autres sur Cassel. Mais je trouve que cette montée est difficile et elle se fait en 2 temps. Au départ, plat + montée où on est souvent exposés au vent, il ne faut pas se cramer et en garder pour la suite. Entre deux, faux-plat et un stop qui peut nous ralentir. Et la partie finale, dure, 9-10％ car on prend l'intérieur des virages à cause du trafic. Bonne montée pour s'entraîner
