Done once, tough but pleasant ascent through the woods. Narrow road, worn asphalt.

Fatta una volta, salita dura ma piacevole in mezzo ai boschi. Strada stretta, asfalto ammalorato.

Early this morning I did this climb.
It is punchy and especially steep in the beginning. Had to really do my best to stay on the bike. Because I am well-trained I succeeded. The whole climb is through a forest and a narrow road. It was very quiet there, didn't come across anyone apart from 2 lumberjacks. Found it very nice climb for that very reason. With lots of hairpins, even in the descent. Which is therefore quite technical. Occasionally careful because the road surface was not always good.

Vanochtend vroeg heb ik deze klim gedaan.
Hij is pittig en vooral in het begin steil. Moest echt mijn best doen om op de fiets te blijven. Omdat ik goed getraind ben lukte dat. De hele klim is door een bos en een smalle weg. Het was er erg rustig, ben op 2 houthakkers na niemand tegen gekomen. Vond het juist daarom erg leuke klim. Met heel veel haarspeldbochten óók in de afdaling. Die daardoor vrij technisch is. Af en toe goed oppassen omdat wegdek niet altijd goed was.
