Zeer mooie klim. Het begint meteen steil en het houdt eigenlijk nooit op. Het wegdek bevindt zich wel in een erbarmelijke staat, dus wees voorzichtig in de afdaling. Op een gegeven moment is er een halve kilometer vals plat omhoog en denk je dat je er bijna bent, maar dan begint de laatste mooiste en pittigste kilometer. Samengevat: pijnlijk mooi

Very beautiful climb, although the road is bad. Riding uphill not such a problem, downhill was more dangerous. I rode this climb with a gravel bike and during the descent I was glad to ride on 40mm durable tires.
