Poor road surface and narrow with occasional oncoming traffic. Nice percentages and nice scenery, though.

Slecht wegdek en smal met soms wat tegenliggers. Wel lekkere percentages en een leuke omgeving.

We thought we had done the toughest part of our route, this one still came as a surprise. Quite steep in the second part, and considering it's somewhat hidden among the trees, we hadn't seen this coming. Done in the rain and thus on wet, muddy road surface. But even in these conditions it is doable, everyone got to the top without any problems (= without skidding) (but out of breath and increased heart rate!). Great fun!

We dachten dat we het zwaarste van onze route gedaan hadden, deze kwam toch als een verrassing. Behoorlijk steil in het tweede deel, en gezien het wat verscholen ligt tussen de bomen, hadden we dit niet zien aankomen. Gedaan in de regen en dus op nat, modderig wegdek. Maar zelf in deze omstandigheden is ie goed te doen, iedereen is zonder problemen (= zonder wegslippen) boven geraakt (maar wel buiten adem en verhoogde hartslag!). Leuk!

Quite a dry climb with a poor quality surface! Nice climb in the woods, which goes well.

Montée assez sèche et avec un revêtement de mauvaise qualité! Chouette ascension dans le bois qui se passe en force.

Actually, the climb is trickier than the profile suggests. Indeed, before you start the climb you have (usually) a long stretch of false flat behind you. Once you start the climb itself you can already see the end in front of you, which is not encouraging. This road goes up really steeply between the trees, in a hollow. At the top, you have a beautiful view. Top tip.

Eigenlijk is de klim lastiger dan het profiel doet vermoeden. Voorheen je aan de klim begint heb je (meestal) namelijk al een lang stuk vals plat achter de rug. Eens je aan de klim zelf begint zie je het eind al voor je en dat is niet bemoedigend. Dit weggetje loopt echt steil tussen de bomen omhoog, in een holle weg. Boven heb je een mooi uitzicht. Toppertje.

Short climb but with a steep finish. Traditionally part of the Grinta Challenge programme.

Moreover, in the context of this website, it seems to me to be part of the "Pays des Collines" rather than the "Belgian Picardy" (which anyway, officially, includes the "Pays des Collines"!).

Montée courte mais dont le final est bien raide. Se trouve traditionnellement au programme du Grinta Challenge.

Par ailleurs, dans le cadre de ce site web, elle me paraît plutôt faire partie du Pays des Collines plutôt que la « Picardie belge » (qui de toute façons, officiellement, englobe le Pays des Collines !).

Nice climb in undulating landscape. Climb is nice in the shadow of the trees. At the top a nice view in good weather.

Leuk klimmetje in golvend landschap. Beklimming ligt mooi in de schaduw van de bomen. Boven op de top een mooi uitzicht bij mooi weer.

It's hard to do 100 characters with this climb. Well known in the region but there are many more beautiful ones in the area.

Difficile de faire 100 caractères avec cette ascension. Bien connue dans la région mais il y en a de biens plus belles dans la région.
