A nice, tough little climb. The road surface is badly damaged with loose gravel everywhere, so be very careful on the descent, especially on the really steep sections. The little chapel, just below the 16% section, is absolutely beautiful and well worth the effort. After the 16% section, the road turns into a loose gravel path leading to the priory—impossible to ride on a standard road bike if you plan to cycle back down.... read more

Leuk zwaar klimmetje. Het wegdek is zwaar beschadigd met overal los grint, dus let goed op met afdalen zeker de echt steile stukken. Het kapelletje, iets onder het stuk van 16%, is wonderschoon en zeer de moeite waard. Na het stuk 16% gaat de weg over in een los grind pad naar de priorij, met een gewone racefiets niet te doen als je ook weer fietsend naar beneden wilt.
