Pretty tough climb with some steep sections in it. Especially in the middle section. Otherwise nice climb on changing roads but very quiet in terms of traffic.

Behoorlijk pittige klim met een aantal steile stukken erin. Vooral in het middenstuk. Verder leuke klim op wisselende wegen maar heel rustig qua verkeer.
