I climbed it on 9 August 2011, at that time the road was very gravelly, I climbed it on a MTB because I couldn't get the gearing to climb it on my road bike. It is a pass that you have to do YES OR YES, and it is a pity that it has not yet been included in any professional race. A real gem with a 2.5 km wall with an average of more than 11％, and many ramps of 19％ and 20％...... read more

Lo subí el 9 de agosto de 2011, entonces la carretera tenía mucha gravilla, lo subí con MTB porque con mi bici de carretera no "me daban" los desarrollos para poder subirlo.

Es un puerto que hay que hacer SÍ O SÍ, y es una pena que aún no haya sido incluido en ninguna carrera profesional. Una verdadera joya con un muro de 2,5 Kms con más del 11％ de media, y muchas rampas del 19％ y 20％...
