An 11-km climb with a deceptively gentle average gradient; the first section passes through Arcigliano with an average gradient of 6%, but with sections reaching as high as 12–13%, then there isa short descent that lowers the average gradient, and from Sarripoli, turning left, the second part begins with an average gradient of 8%, but with final sections reaching up to 15%, especially on the last curve.

An 11-km climb with a deceptively gentle average gradient; the first section passes through Arcigliano with an average gradient of 6%, but with sections reaching as high as 12–13%, then there isa short descent that lowers the average gradient, and from Sarripoli, turning left, the second part begins with an average gradient of 8%, but with final sections reaching up to 15%, especially on the last curve. One of the most secluded, challenging, and beautiful climbs starting from Pistoia. Once you reach the Momigno area, you can continue on to Femminamorta, then Margine di Momigno and Macchia Antonini, almost entirely uphill.

Salita lunga 11 km con pendenza media ingannevole, la prima parte passa da Arcigliano sul 6％ di media ma con tratti che arrivano anche al 12-13％, poi c'è una breve discesa che abbassa la pendenza media e da Sarripoli svoltando a sinistra inizia la seconda parte con una pend. media sull'8％ ma con tratti finali che arrivano anche al 15％, soprattutto sull'ultima curva. Una delle salite più appartate, dure e belle da fare da Pistoia. Arrivati in zona Momigno si può proseguire poi per Femminamorta e poi Margine di Momigno e Macchia Antonini, quasi tutto in salita.
