The quality doesn't falter at all, but otherwise it's a great, very strenuous climb
Die strauchelt von der Qualität gar nicht aber ansonsten ein geiler sehr anstrengender Anstieg
Done as the finale of the holiday. The first stretch was quite intense because of the heat and gradient but perseverance wins out! Don't give up, there are a few bits of flat or downhill where you can recover for a while and then buffalo through again on the lightest gear. Views are fine but you do it more for the achievement! Not recommended for an inexperienced/untrained cyclist.
Als finale van de vakantie gedaan. Het eerste stuk was vrij intens door de warmte en stijgingspercentage maar de aanhouder wint! Niet opgeven, er zijn een paar stukjes vlakker of dalend waar je even kan bijkomen om daarna weer op het lichtste verzet door te buffelen. Uitzicht is prima maar je doet het meer voor de prestatie! Niet aan te raden voor een onervaren/ongetrainde fietser.
Due to its reputation just had to do it, but wouldn't necessarily do it again, mainly due to to decending with bad surface and need for constant braking. Somehow there was always enough flatter sections to give some respite for it not to crack you. The views and atmosphere were nothing special.
Keep focus and climb steady and don’t forget too enjoy. Not the best road but ok on the way up.
What a climb!
The road surface is indeed really bad as you get to the top. The stiffness of this climb is shown in the profile too 'weak' in my opinion. You are constantly above 10％. Assume a climb where you have to deal with 15-20％ throughout the climb.
Couple of times anyway to stop!
Views are fantastic!
Wat een klim!!
Het wegdek is inderdaad écht slecht naarmate je bovenin komt. De stijfheid van deze klim is in het profiel naar mijn mening te 'zwak' weergegeven. Je zit constant boven de 10％. Ga van een beklimming uit waarbij je te maken krijgt met 15-20％ gedurende de gehele klim.
Paar keer toch even gestopt!
Uitzicht is fantastisch!
I decided to tackle this climb on my first day in Mallorca to tick off the box next to the steepest climb on the island.

Very steep, with unpleasant flashbacks to my Mortirolo ascent earlier this year in Italy, however this one felt less steep and is of course less long. Road surface gets worse and worse towards the top. This makes the descent also quite technical so not something to do with your grandma. On the top, there is a dead end with an ok view of Palma and the bay. The other side (from Esporles) has a slightly better road surface and is less steep. I did this climb with a 34*32 for 90％ of the climb. Almost no traffic and only a few fellow bikers.
