I did this climb as part of the Clasica Puerto de Somiedo. This climb came after San Lorenzo and Farrapona and seemed endless, obviously explained by the emerging fatigue. Fortunately, the gradients remain manageable and the beautiful scenery provides ample distraction. Very nice!... read more

Deze beklimming gedaan als onderdeel van de Clasica Puerto de Somiedo. Deze klim kwam na de San Lorenzo en Farrapona en leek eindeloos, uiteraard te verklaren door de opkomende vermoeidheid. De stijgingspercentages blijven gelukkig beheersbaar en het prachtige decor zorgt voor ruim voldoende afleiding. Zeer fraai!
