Quite steep sections, interspersed with easier passages. Quite crowded when I was there. Starting from standstill was an extra challenge.

Flinke steile stukken, afgewisseld met makkelijker passages. Behoorlijk druk toen ik er was. Vanuit stilstand starten was een extra uitdaging.

This climb seems longer downhill than uphill. It offers a small wall much steeper than the 12％ announced. It is done without too many cars, which are respectful of cyclists.

Cette montée parais plus longue en descente qu’en montée. Elle offre un petit mur bien plus pentue que le 12％ annoncé. Elle se fait sans trop de voitures, qui sont respevtuseuses des cyclistes.
