A tough climb in a beautiful area from the picturesque Treignes. The road surface is good, which means that it is sometimes used by motorists. However, there is no real traffic and in the two times that I have climbed it, I have not met any other cyclists. The climb is short but very hard and the higher percentages (7 to 9％) really start when you pass the last house on the right side.

Climb that starts in the village in a twisting way. After exiting the village, it does not get any easier, especially the last part is very steep.

Klim die kronkelend begint in het dorp. Na het uitrijden van het dorp wordt het er niet meer gemakkelijker op met vooral het laatste deel nog een erg steil gedeelte.

A tough climb in a beautiful area from the picturesque Treignes. The road surface is good, which means that it is sometimes used by motorists. However, there is no real traffic and in the two times that I have climbed it, I have not met any other cyclists.

The climb is short but very hard and the higher percentages (7 to 9％) really start when you pass the last house on the right side. In an oasis of green, with meadows beside you, you cover the first half kilometer until the road turns in a faint curve to the left. Here you almost hit the double percentages (!), but unless you are an experienced climber it is too early to stand on the pedals. It is still a few hundred meters to the top and you start to feel the acidification. After a second turn to the left, you can already see the (quasi-)summit, but it is longer than you think. With about ten meters to go and you feel like you're approaching the 15％, you have to resist the pain and keep thinking: left foot down, right foot down. When you have conquered this last part, you are stared at strangely by a herd of cows in the meadow on your right. From here, it's a rolling descent to Matagne-la-Petite.

Een pittige klim in een mooi gebied vanuit het pittoreske Treignes. Het wegdek is goed, waardoor deze soms ook door automobilisten wordt gebruikt. Van echte drukte is echter geen sprake en in de twee keer dat ik deze klim bedwongen heb, ben ik geen andere fietsers tegengekomen.

De klim is kort maar zeer krachtig en de hogere percentages (7 a 9％) beginnen pas echt wanneer je het laatste huisje aan de rechterkant passeert. In een oase van groen, met weilanden naast je, leg je de eerste halve kilometer af tot de weg in een flauwe bocht naar links gaat. Hier tik je bijna direct de dubbele percentages aan (!), maar tenzij je een ervaren klimmer bent is het nog te vroeg om op de pedalen te gaan staan. Het is immers nog een paar honderd meter tot de top en de verzuring begin je al te voelen. Na een tweede flauwe bocht naar links kun je de (quasi-)top reeds zien liggen, maar het is langer dan je denkt. Met een tiental meters dat voor je gevoel dik tegen de 15％ aan zit moet je je tegen de pijn verzetten en blijven denken: linkervoet naar beneden, rechtervoet naar beneden. Wanneer je dit laatste deel hebt overwonnen, word je raar aangestaard door een kudde koeien in het weiland aan de rechterkant. Vanaf hier is het een glooiende afdaling naar Matagne-la-Petite.
