When the Roche-aux-Faucons appeared on the Liège-Bastogne-Liège programme, it was this side that was proposed. The switch from LBL to the current, more direct side (côte d'Avister in the Cotacol encyclopaedia) is relatively recent. Personally, I find the "Méry" slope harder because it is more irregular.... read more

Lorsque la Roche-aux-Faucons est apparue au programme de Liège-Bastogne-Liège, c'était ce versant qui était proposé. Le passage de LBL au versant actuel, plus direct (côte d'Avister dans l'encyclopédie Cotacol), est relativement récent. Personnellement je trouve ce versant « Méry » plus dur car plus irrégulier.

Differs very little from the variant that starts in Hony: Part 1 remains very steep anyway and Part 2 goes over the same not very convex concrete slabs.
Wherever you start from: Roche Aux Foucons is a bastard of a climb.

Verschilt maar zeer weinig van de variant die start in Hony: Deel 1 blijft hoe dan ook bijzonder stijl en Deel 2 gaat over dezelfde niet goed bollende betonplaten.
Vanwaar je ook vertrekt: Roche Aux Foucons is rotzak van een klim.

Strangely enough, during the Liége Bastogne Liége, the pros went up this way, slightly easier than the other way. Only the beginning changes though, and most of the climb is still the same
