Very busy road, definitely not recommended. The road surface is good over the entire climb. The first part is a constant runner, not exciting in terms of scenery. I wouldn't cycle it again.

A long climb with quite a few altimeters on good tarmac. Not much to criticise in itself, but it is a bit boring imho. The whole climb is on wider connecting roads where the first half can also be quite busy. It's a very good runner though until after the left-hand bend. Then the road undulates a bit until you turn right where a relaxed climb continues to the top.
Is it worth a diversion? Mwah hard to say. My preference then is for smaller roads anyway. But for getting from A to B quickly, I think it's a great option.
