The most difficult of the climbs on the Wanne? I personally find this one harder than "the original" because there is no downhill section in it and it is particularly steep anyway (although this could also be because there were already 100 km in the legs at that point). Road surface is less at the end (but not a problem when climbing) + it was very hot and there were many bugs. Very quiet location, a bit remote at the end itself.

De lastigste van de beklimmingen van de Wanne? Ik vind deze persoonlijk lastiger dan "the original", want hier zit geen stukje afdaling in en is toch wel bijzonder steil (al kan dit ook zijn omdat er op dat moment al 100 km in de benen zaten). Wegdek is op het einde wel minder (maar geen probleem bij het klimmen) + het was heel warm en er zaten dan ook veel beestjes. Zeer rustig gelegen, op het einde zelf wat afgelegen. Meer zeer leuk alternatief dat je zeker moet gedaan hebben!

Frequently Asked Questions

Spineux is a challenging ascent. For this type of climbing, we recommend mountain gearing, specifically a compact system. This means a small front chainring of 34 teeth, combined with a rear cassette where, depending on your level, strength, and experience, you choose a sprocket with 30, 32, or even 34 teeth. Remember that a smooth cadence is always more efficient!
