The section from Terrinca to Passo Croce is particularly beautiful. The asphalt has been repaved in several places, but parts of the final stretch are still in poor condition. The view from the pass is beautiful. On the final stretch (the last 6 km), traffic is practically nonexistent except for a few sporadic trucks headed to the Corchia quarries. The last 6 km are the heart of this climb, and there are no sections along this stretch where you can catch your breath.... read more

Particolarmente bella la parte da Terrinca al Passo Croce. L'asfalto è stato rifatto in varie parti ma ci sono ancora parti del pezzo finale in condizioni scarse. Bello il panorama arrivati al passo. Nel tratto finale (ultimi 6 km) il traffico è praticamente inesistente salvo qualche sporadico camion diretto alle cave del Corchia. Gli ultimi 6 km sono il cuore di questa salita e in questi km non ci sono tratti dove poter riprendere fiato.
