Climb that is well-knownGood road surface. from the Tour de Wallonnie. Incredibly steep climb that seems to have no end, Halfway up the climb you can also cross to Cheratte via an even steeper alley (that's what Garmin wants you to do) but I'll leave that option aside.... read more

Klim die bekend isGoed wegdek. uit de Tour de Wallonnie. Ontzettend steile klim waar geen einde aan lijkt te komen, Halverwege de klim kun je ook nog via een NOG steiler steegje naar Cheratte doorsteken (dat wil Garmin je laten doen) maar die optie laat ik maar voor wat het is.

Pretty steep climb. Not the prettiest climb in the region, but quite nice to pick up percentages close to 20 for a change

Flinke steile klim. Niet de mooiste klim van de streek, maar best eens leuk om de percentages tegen de 20 mee te pikken

The best steep climb around: good tarmac, not too crowded and high gradients. The ideal way to leave the Meuse valley if you are looking for some ％.

La meilleure ascension raide du coin : bon tarmac, pas trop fréquenté et des forts pourcentages. L'idéal pour quitter la vallée de la Meuse si vous cherchez du ％.

Wonderfully steep climb with good tarmac to put the legs under pressure. If you are used to the steep stuff, this one is still doable with a 34x28, heavier riders will be happy with a lighter gear. Fortunately, despite the urban area you cycle up through the green. Not that you have much energy to enjoy it... A hidden gem to (un)pleasantly surprise your cycling mates with. Next we cross to Rue del No to enjoy the pumped up calves.

Heerlijk steile klim met goed asfalt om de benen eens kneiterhard op spanning te zetten. Als je het steile werk gewent bent dan is deze met een 34x28 nog goed te doen, zwaardere renners zullen blij zijn met een lichter verzetje. Gelukkig fiets je ondanks het verstedelijkt gebied door het groen omhoog. Niet dat je veel energie hebt om ervan te genieten... Een hidden gem om je fietsmaten eens (on)aangenaam mee te verrassen. Vervolgens doorsteken naar Rue del No om nog na te genieten van die volgepompte kuiten.

Absurdly steep climb, which is steep immediately after turning from the main road. After the left turn the climb is already finished. The tarmac is good. Indeed a must if you like steep climbs.

Absurd steile klim, die meteen na het opdraaien vanaf de hoofdweg steil omhoog loopt. Na de bocht linksaf is de klim eigenlijk al klaar. Het asfalt is goed. Inderdaad een aanrader als je van steile klimmetjes houdt.

This is the variant they took during the Tour de Wallonie 2019.
Beastly steep - didn't even bother to put a turn in at the start :-)
Nice, if you like the steep stuff

Dit is de variant die ze tijdens de Tour de Wallonie 2019 genomen hebben.
Beestachtig steil - zelfs niet de moeite gedaan om een bocht in te leggen in het beginstuk :-)
Leuk, als je van het steile werk houdt
