Tough climb, no baloney. The gradients start off strong straight away, the first kilometre you ride between 8％ and 12％, then a section where the gradients return to ''normal'' before tackling a second tough section (locita Ilci) with a couple of tight bends that are quite tricky. After 2.5km you arrive at the most scenic point (Mozziconi), where a long section begins (2km) with easy gradients, travelling between 5 and 7％.... After this easy section, at the entrance to t... read more

Tough climb, no baloney. The gradients start off strong straight away, the first kilometre you ride between 8％ and 12％, then a section where the gradients return to ''normal'' before tackling a second tough section (locita Ilci) with a couple of tight bends that are quite tricky. After 2.5km you arrive at the most scenic point (Mozziconi), where a long section begins (2km) with easy gradients, travelling between 5 and 7％.... After this easy section, at the entrance to the chestnut forest the last stretch begins, which will be a continuous increase in gradient, climbing in a murderous progression from 10 to 18 ％.
Hard,demanding,bad,if you are not in good if not great shape,it is best to avoid this climb....

Salita dura,niente balle. Le pendenze partono subito forte,il primo km si viaggia tra il 8％ e il 12％ ,poi un tratto dove le pendenze tornano ''normali'' prima di affrontare un secondo tratto impegnativo (localita Ilci) più tosto,con un paio di curve strette belle insidiose. Dopo 2,5km si arriva nel punto più panoramico ( localita Mozziconi) dove inizia un lungo tratto (2km) con pendenze semplici ,si viaggia tra il 5 e il 7％.... finito questo tratto semplice,,all'ingresso del bosco di Castagni inizia l'ultimo tratto moster,sara' un continuo aumentare della pendenza ,salendo in una progressione assassina dal 10 al 18 ％.
Dura,esigente,cattiva,se non si è in buona se non ottima forma,è meglio evitare questa ascesa....
