Smalle kronkelende weg vanuit cherin met mooi asfalt., Vanaf laroles (waar je kan bevoorraden in het tankstation, of stoppen voor een koffie in het naastliggende restaurant Montesinos tijdens de afdaling om op te warmen) begint de weg breder te worden maar het asfalt is nog altijd super. Af en toe een haarspeldbocht laat de kilometers sneller aftellen. Spijtig dat er op de top zoveel bomen staan waardoor je geen echt panorama krijgt van de omgeving. Echt stevige percentages zijn er niet buiten 1 stuk van meer dan 10%.
