This climb is not to be underestimated. It starts fairly flat along the main road. Once you enter the village, however, the character changes quite quickly. It becomes very irregular but never flat. The most difficult part is through the village. Just when you think you are not going to make it 'luckily' probably a dog comes along to give you an adrenaline boost. Once you are out of the village you have short very steep sections interspersed with moderate sections. You cycle through a special kind of forest with boulders everywhere. At the top there is a rest area where you sometimes see tourists to take photos's.
Deze klim is niet te onderschatten. Hij begint vrij vlak langs de hoofdweg. Als je het dorp binnen rijdt verandert het karakter echter vrij snel. Het wordt heel onregelmatig maar nooit vlak. Het lastigste stuk is doorheen het dorp. Net wanneer je denkt dat je je het niet gaat halen komt er 'gelukkig' waarschijnlijk een hond je een adrenalineboost geven. Wanneer je het dorp uit bent heb je korte heel steile stukken afgewisseld met gematigde stukken. Je fietst door een speciaal soort bos met boulders overal. Op de top is er een rustplaats waar je soms toeristen ziet om foto's te nemen.
