Gradually building up the climb with a tough stretch toward the main road, followed by a short break and one last effort to the top.

Geleidelijk opbouwende klim met een pittig stuk richting de hoofdweg, gevolgd door een korte onderbreking en nog een laatste inspanning tot boven.

You start in Westouter and the gradients gradually get higher and higher. Just before you turn onto the main road is the centre of gravity. After that, you can give your legs some oxygen through the short descent before pulling out all the stops for the last bit of the climb. Pay attention here because the road is slightly busier than the street where the climb starts. After the last turn, you're pretty much at the top! Worth a diversion because it is a Cotacol but the end of the climb is a little less beautiful.

Je begint in Westouter en de stijgingspercentages worden geleidelijk hoger en hoger. Net voor je de grote weg opdraait ligt het zwaartepunt. Daarna kan je de benen even zuurstof geven door de korte afdaling om dan vervolgens nog een laatste keer alles uit de kast te halen om het laatste stukje op de knallen. Let hier wel op want de weg is iets drukker dan de straat waar de klim begint. Na de laatste bocht ben je zo goed als boven! Een omweg waard omdat het een Cotacol is maar het einde van de klim is iets minder mooi.

The hardest part is at the end of vidaigneberg. After that, it's not really climbing until the top of black mountain. Personally the most fun side though. You can firmly test your legs on it.

Het lastigste is op het einde van de vidaigneberg. Daarna is het niet echt meer klimmen tot de top van de zwarteberg. Persoonlijk wel de leukste kant. Je kan er je benen stevig op testen.
