It's hard - it's good.
A real triple wall, requiring you to tear yourself away 3 times to reach the top. It seems to get further away with each pedal stroke on the final ramps.
A magnificent climb to discover and rediscover (as far as I'm concerned... not until I've lost at least 10kg. I should have obeyed the sign "forbidden to heavy goods vehicles" at the foot of the climb).

The road isn't in the best condition, especially in the first 2 thirds of the climb, but frankly when you get to the top you're just too proud. You've got to hold on tight on the last stretch, which is a real pain in the ass.

Three consecutive steep walls with short stretches of recovery each time, but with no real breathing room. Especially the last "wall" really finishes it off and makes you constantly ride on the limit here. A short climb, but definitely one of the toughest in the region where dosing is crucial to get to the top.

A must-do for an effort test, the last small slope faces the sky, I also tested my brakes for the descent, not very wide road, mostly wooded, when I passed a few vehicles.

This climb is part of the Haute Meuse circuit in the book les 100 côtes de Belgique and covers the 4 major difficulties in the region.
The climb is aptly named the Triple Wall. In fact, there are 3 of them, and after each one there's a little flat area, barely enough to breathe. The last one is surely the most difficult with passages at 24％. What's more, the road doesn't render so well.

After the main road between Namur and Dinant, it is left (or right, if you are coming from Dinant). There is a sign for motorists to take this little road only if they really need to be there. This is massively ignored as there is car traffic in abundance here, unfortunately. The road is moderate but the very worst stretch has been replaced by a tight stretch of tarmac. The climb itself is steep. With occasional quiet bits, but these are actually false flat. The devil is really in the tail, because that's where it's steep. You can't see anything of the view, because everything is in the forest. The moderate tarmac but, above all, the large number of cars make this all in all not such a fun climb as the profile suggests. But: if you are in the area I would do it.

I climbed it on the Tour du Namur after 100km I think and I was surprised by the difficulty of this hill, which rises directly in front of you after the descent, ho the surprise and during the climb I really suffered for my part, it does not suit my size but it was on the program but for lovers of ％ it is a good destination.

Diverged from the official Tour De Namur route to catch this one. Jeez, it keeps on going.

Luckily the legs were still relatively fresh, by the end of the course this one had failed.

One of the Walloon monsters starting from the Meuse valley between Namur and Dinant. Soon you see the first wall looming in front of you, after a brief moment of gentler gradients the next 2 scourging sections loom. Must do for lovers of the steeper pentes. Perfect to combine with Sept Meuses - La Gayolle - Montagne de la Croix nearby

After the first wall I almost broke down due to a broken gear, the second one took some teeth under a burning sun and the third one is even harder. Got to the top swinging, sat there panting for another 2 km until I got some idea of where I was cycling. Beautiful but very tough climb in very beautiful surroundings.

One of the toughest climbs in Belgium. The road on the first two "walls" is pretty bad, and when I rode It half of it was completely collapsed due to the recent flood. Its fairly unknown and it really should have more attention.

Absolute killer of the region. Only a few get up here easily. After the second 'wall' you already think it is heavy, but the gravity of the third piece is not to be underestimated. Climbing gears recommended. Sign says heaviest section of 23.9％ and that would not surprise me. Really much tougher than the more famous Wall of Huy.

In the series "Are my beta-blockers always well dosed?" or "Today, I'm tearing my calves!", the triple wall of Monty is the local brevet of Montagnard or rather, cyclotagnard. A first warm-up will make you understand that you're not laughing anymore, then the intermediate part will allow you to give up with honors and the third part will try to kill you by asphyxia or acidosis or even septicemia because of the schrapnels of the chain breaks which will reach your calves.

It's an unbelievable pain in the ass, especially since the road surface is terrible in the first phase. Especially with the Wall of Huy and the Gayolle already in the legs it is a struggle. The last part is really straight up. At the bottom, there is a sign that says 23.9％ is the maximum... I don't know if it's true, but at least the end feels steep!

You've done this climb a few times in the Tour de Namur and it's a real killer, you start +-13％ up and in the distance you see it get even steeper once you get here, you think you can almost see the top now, but then the real work starts with another 16％+ piece, really hell if you do this one at the end of a tour, I've seen several people crash here!

Ridden last week as part of the beautiful Tour de Namur. As far as I'm concerned it belongs to the top 3 of the most difficult climbs in Belgium. The succession of three (triple) walls is absolutely exhausting, whatever the speed. Recuperating on one of the intermediate sections is hardly possible. Moreover, if you do not know that the most difficult part (up to almost 20％) comes at the very end, you are literally parked. So, dosing is the message, although this is far from obvious. A monster of a climb, hardly equalled in Belgium!

a killer - definitely do it!
And combine it with the citadel of Namur, then you already have 2 top climbs of Belgium in 1 ride!

Gone 3 times on death today! Refusing to set foot on the ground! Last part is really slalom to not have to stop.... Similar in difficulty to Stockeu, I think.

Ridden in the Tour du Namur. It was very tough and (besides the mountain of heads) the only one where I ever had to set foot on the ground. My form that day was also not ideal but this climb is not to be underestimated and hits your body like a three-stage rocket. The 300m above the 10％ with parts up to 20％ completely at the end you have to overcome on character.

This is really a monster. Especially the third and last wall is very heavy. For me a lot heavier than eg the nearby "7 Meuses" which however is much higher in the ranking.

The first stage is difficult, the second is long and the end has the highest gradients. But it's more fun to ride up than down! It's better to grit your teeth than to grit your butt and brake.
Even if it's short and you don't get very high, you have to be humble if you want to get to the top without arousing pity and incomprehension from the locals... And pushing your bike is bad for your shoe wedges!

Heaviest climb in the Ardennes. This because of the 3 times steep parts with at least 20％. This makes it also harder than Huy, Redoute, Stockeu. Too low in the list and undervalued in terms of climbing points.
