Epic climb because of its steepness, narrow road through the forest and gravel sections. Is really doable on a road bike if you are not afraid of gravel, but going down this side I would strongly advise against and is asking for trouble (on a road bike)

Episch klimmetje vanwege de stijlheid, smalle weg door het bos en gravel-stukken. Is echt goed te doen op een racefiets als je niet bang bent voor gravel, maar deze kant afdalen zou ik sterk afraden en is vragen om problemen (op een racefiets)
