For a kilometre and a half, the gradient does not drop below 20％, with peaks above 30％. This climb is only for the collectors of knotty climbs, only the scanuppia makes it more bonkers. So. How was this experience? Well, you either have to stick a super light gear, or grab a mountain bike because on a road racer this climb is barely doable.

To hurt myself, I did this climb. An absolute monstrosity! For a kilometre and a half, the gradient does not drop below 20％, with peaks above 30％. This climb is only for the collectors of knotty climbs, only the scanuppia makes it more bonkers. So. How was this experience? Well, you either have to stick a super light gear, or grab a mountain bike because on a road racer this climb is barely doable. You can't sit because then your front wheel will shoot into the air so you have to stand. Moreover, this climb is on the southern slope so count on temperatures above 30 degrees during the summer months. Desperately zigzagging and looking for every outer corner you crawl up agonisingly slowly. 4x I had to dismount to catch my breath after hitting my maximum heart rate. Getting off after that was almost impossible, but I did it to be able to tell you that you should only do this climb if sadomasochism is your thing. By the way, giving up and turning around is also life-threatening. So you are committed once you start it. Then I did away with the Alte Jenesier which is around the corner, again only for the collector of knotty climbs.
Om mezelf pijn te doen deze klim gedaan. Een absoluut gedrocht! Anderhalve kilometer zakt de hellingsgraad niet onder de 20％, met uitschieters boven de 30％. Deze klim is alleen voor de verzamelaars van knotgekke klimmen, alleen de scanuppia maakt het nog bonter. Dus. Hoe was deze ervaring? Nou, je moet of een superlicht verzet steken, of een mountainbike pakken want op een wegracer is deze klim nauwelijks te doen. Je kan niet zitten want dan schiet je voorwiel de lucht in dus je moet staan. Bovendien ligt deze klim op de zuidhelling dus reken maar op temperaturen van boven de 30 graden tijdens de zomermaanden. Wanhopig zigzaggend en op zoek naar iedere buitenbocht kruip je tergend langzaam omhoog. 4x moest ik afstappen om op adem te komen nadat ik mijn maximale hartslag aangetikt had. Daarna opstappen was bijna onmogelijk, maar ik heb het gedaan om jouw te kunnen vertellen dat je deze klim alleen mag doen als sadomasochisme je ding is. Overigens is opgeven en omdraaien ook nog eens levensgevaarlijk. Dus je bent committed als je er eenmaal aan begint. Daarna heb ik de Alte Jenesier weg gedaan die om de hoek ligt, nogmaals alleen voor de verzamelaar van knotgekke klimmen.
