Like the Haussire and the Wanne, this one also has a descent. That seems nice, the pressure off the legs, but I don't like it. It makes the average percentage deceptive and what comes after the descent even harder. What a steep piece of crap up to the monument say. Is only a kilometer I believe but there is no end to it. Had previously done the version up to Eddy Merkx, now wanted the real deal. I knew it, but I reached the top without any major problems. Really tough though, especially aft... read more

It makes the average percentage deceptive and what comes after the descent even harder. What a steep piece of crap up to the monument say. Is only a kilometer I believe but there is no end to it. Had previously done the version up to Eddy Merkx, now wanted the real deal. I knew it, but I reached the top without any major problems. Really tough though, especially after 120 km with already almost 2000 altimeters on the counter. Bit proud of myself when I got to the top.

Net als de Haussire en de Wanne ook in deze een afdaling. Dat lijkt fijn, de druk van de benen, maar ik hou er niet van. Het maakt het gemiddelde percentage bedrieglijk en wat na de afdaling komt nog lastiger. Wat een steil rotstuk tot aan het monument zeg. Is geloof ik maar een kilometer maar er komt geen eind aan. Had eerder de versie totaan Eddy Merkx gedaan, wilde nu de real deal. Heb ik geweten, maar ik kwam zonder grote problemen boven. Wel echt zwaar, zeker na 120 km met al bijna 2000 hoogtemeters op de teller. Beetje trots op mezelf toen ik boven kwam.

Well a classic you must have done, if only to have seen the Steele Eddy Merckx!

Tja een klassieker die je moet gedaan hebben, al is het maar om de Steele Eddy Merckx gezien te hebben!

If you've done this version often enough, you'll be glad when you once have to climb only as far as the Eddy Merckx statue during an Ardennes ride (during LBL, for example).

This climb is an exercise in not listening to your legs when they are screaming out.

Als je deze versie vaak genoeg gedaan hebt, ben je blij wanneer je tijdens een Ardennen-rit eens enkel tot aan het Eddy Merckx standbeeld moet klimmen (tijdens LBL bijvoorbeeld).

Deze klim is een oefening in het niet luisteren naar je benen wanneer ze het uitschreeuwen.

In my opinion, the toughest climb in Belgium. You get demolished in the first kilometre and after that your heart rate is already high and you still have further to go. Therefore highly recommended in my opinion :) The road surface is not top (after the monument) but it's part of the experience.

Naar mijn mening de zwaarste beklimming van België. Je wordt gesloopt in de eerste kilometer en daarna zit je al hoog in je hartslag en moet je nog verder. Daarom een echte aanrader vind ik :) Het wegdek is niet top (na het monument) maar it's part of the experience.

Very steep climb. It starts very steep and doesn't get any easier.

Zeer stevige klim. Het begint heel steil en makkelijker wordt het niet.

Great extended climb of the legendary Stockeu, if you have the Stockeu in your programme anyway, you should extend the climb directly by this further one. The worst part of the climb is already behind you after the Steele Eddy Merckx. After that, the percentages get steadily more pleasant, so I didn't find the Super Stockeu as a whole to be particularly difficult. Still highly recommended. 👍

Toller verlängerter Anstieg des legendären Stockeu, Wenn man den Stockeu ohnehin im Programm hat, sollte man den Anstieg direkt um diesen weiteren verlängern. Den schlimmsten Teil des Anstiegs hat man ohnehin bereits nach der Steele Eddy Merckx hinter sich gebracht. Danach wird es kontinuierlich von dem Prozenten angenehmer, so dass ich den Super Stockeu als Ganzes betrachtet nicht als besonders schwierig empfand. Trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert. 👍

I found this climb not too bad. May also have to do with the fact that it was at the beginning of my ride :)
All in all, a nice climb to do, but I was a bit disappointed by the views :)
There weren't any and when you cycle up such a high guy, I expect that

Ik vond deze klim best nog meevallen. Kan ook te maken hebben met het feit dat het aan het begin van mijn rit was :)
Al bij al een mooie klim om te doen, maar ik was wat teleurgesteld van de vergezichten :)
Die waren er namelijk niet en als je zo een hoge jongen opfietst, verwacht ik dat wel

Very tough climb before and after the famous part of LBL, the part after the monument is much worse in terms of road surface but that makes the climb even more super!

Zeer zware klim voor en na het bekende gedeelte van LBL, het stuk na het monument ligt er wel veel slechter bij van wegdek maar dat maakt de klim nog meer super!

This climb was in the 1999 edition of LBL.

Heavier than the Haussire I didn't find it to be. The hardest part is really up to Merckx' stele. After that the climb is still hard, but because you were able to descend in between, you recovered a bit.

Definitely not an easy ride, but it is one you must have done. I like the descent towards the Wanne better than the descent you would have if you turned around at Merckx's stele.

Deze klim zat in de editie van LBL 1999.

Zwaarder dan de Haussire vond ik hem niet. Het moeilijkste stuk is echt tot de stele van Merckx. Daarna krijg je het nog wel een keer flink voor de kiezen, maar omdat je tussendoor hebt kunnen afdalen ben je ook iets hersteld.

Absoluut geen makkie, wel eentje die je gedaan moet hebben. De afdaling richting de Wanne vind ik prettiger dan de afdaling die je zou hebben als je omdraait bij de stele van Merckx.

A tough climb you definitely must have done. The first part is very difficult, you almost stand still there. I would definitely recommend this climb if you are in the Ardennes.

Een zware beklimming die je zeker moet gedaan hebben. Het eerste stuk is zeer lastig, je staat er bijna stil. Ik zou deze beklimming zeker aanraden als je in de ardennen bent.

Very tough climb this one is really steep although k think there are tougher ones due to the length in the Ardennes but the steepness hits very hard

Zeer zware beklimming deze is echt stijl al vind k dat er lastigere zijn door de lengte in de Ardennen maar de stijltegraad slaagt wel heel hard toe

This hill, which has recently appeared, is really extraordinary! Much harder than the original Stockeu, it almost makes up for the col de Haussire which is the hardest in Belgium (321pts/345pts). I really recommend it to all the people who have the opportunity to do it and who like to do complicated climbs!
Personally I did it rather slowly...

Cette côte apparue sous peu, est vraiment extraordinaire ! Bien plus dure que le Stockeu original, elle rattrape presque le col de Haussire qui est la plus dure de Belgique (321pts/345pts). Je la conseille vraiment à toutes les personnes qui ont l'occasion de la faire et qui aime bien faire des côtes compliquées !
Personnellement je l'ai faite plutôt lentement...
