Beautiful and very even climb through the clean Basque green hills. Tarmac like a billiard sheet. Could really enjoy it.

Mooie en zeer gelijkmatige klim door het schone Baskische groene heuvellandschap. Asfalt als een biljartlaken. Kon er erg van genieten.

Most of the route is through forest.
The view from above is not unobstructed, but it is very clear from time to time on the way up (and down).
The road is wide and comfortable.

La majorité se fait dans la forêt.
La vue d'en-haut n'est pas dégagée, mais l'est très ponctuellement lors de la montée (et de la descente).
La route est bien large et confortable.

Admittedly a long time ago (> 10 years), but still one of the most boring climbs I have done. A wide national road (N121b) that was actually otherwise very quiet goes up in wide loops through the fields. No real views and the only exciting thing at the top is that you get to go back down. It was on my multi-day cycling holiday route from Bayonne to Argeles-sur-Mer, but I wouldn't pay attention to it otherwise.

Weliswaar lang geleden (> 10 jaar), maar nog altijd één van de saaiste klimmen die ik heb gedaan. Een brede nationale weg (N121b) die eigenlijk verder heel rustig was gaat in wijde lussen omhoog door de velden. Geen echte uitzichten en het enige spannende op de top is dat je weer naar beneden mag. Hij lag op mijn meerdaagse fietsvakantieroute van Bayonne naar Argeles-sur-Mer, maar ik zou er anders geen aandacht aan besteden.
