A rather demanding climb on a road in rough condition.
It's amusing to compare the graph of the perfect, even profile of this climb with the much more chaotic reality!

It climbs seriously at around 9, 10％. No rest. On the other hand, we're protected from the sun. The forest is not ugly. You get that feeling that you're going through a pretty wild place and in fact I came across some roe deer wondering what I was doing there.
The climb stops in front of a pile of cut wood. Next, a gravel path ventures into the forest. No spectacular views, but absolute peace and varied vegetation.
Not breathtaking, but not unpleasant.
Une ascension plutôt exigeante sur une route dans un état approximatif.
Il est amusant de comparer le graphique du profil parfait et homogène de cette montée avec la réalité nettement plus chaotique !
Les irrégularités de la route ne handicapent pas trop la montée mais rendent la descente désagréable. Les pourcentages invitent à rouler vite mais l’état de la route ne le permet clairement pas (gravillons, trous, bosses…).
Ça grimpe sérieusement aux alentours des 9, 10％. Pas de repos. Par contre, on est protégé du soleil. La forêt n’est pas moche. On a ce sentiment de traverser un lieu assez sauvage et d’ailleurs j’ai croisé des chevreuils qui se demandaient ce que je faisais là.
J’ai détesté ce panneau qui limite l’ascension à 30km/h alors que je culminais à 11km/h !
La balade s’arrête devant un tas de bois coupé. Ensuite, un chemin gravel s’aventure dans la forêt.
Pas de vues spectaculaires mais le calme absolu et la végétation variée.
Pas décoiffant, mais pas désagréable.
