Very tough. The middle kilometre is really for powerful legs, never dropping below 12-13% and even giving you long stretches around 15. The last really demanding stretch, just after the hairpin bends, should be highlighted. A straight stretch that just wasn't wanted, when one had hoped to have overcome the most difficult part. Fortunately, as soon as we leave Castegnero, the road has been resurfaced and so there is no grit or worse potholes to worsen the effects of the slope. The arrival is, as is often the case in the Berici, in the middle of a forest, with short ups and downs and the shade of trees. The panorama, limited to the central part, would also be interesting if the ascent did not propose such difficulties that one could not concentrate on anything other than pushing hard on the pedals.
The traffic is very limited and allows you to descend safely, obviously taking care not to pick up too much speed.
I put four stars for the technical value, but if you don't like steep slopes, it is better to climb from other sides.

Molto dura. Il chilometro centrale è davvero per gambe potenti, non scendendo mai sotto il 12-13% e anzi regalando tratti anche lunghi intorno al 15. Da sottolineare l'ultimo tratto veramente impegnativo, appena dopo i tornanti. Un rettilineo che proprio non ci voleva, quando si sperava di aver superato la parte più difficile. Fortunatamente appena usciti da Castegnero la strada è stata riasfaltata e quindi non c'è granulosità o peggio ancora buche a peggiorare gli effetti della pendenza. L'arrivo è come spesso succede nei Berici in mezzo a un bosco, con saliscendi di breve entità e l'ombra degli alberi. Il panorama, limitatamente alla parte centrale, sarebbe anche interessante se l'ascesa non proponesse difficoltà tali che non si può concentrarsi su altro che non sia spingere a tutta sui pedali.
Il traffico è molto limitato e consente di scendere in tutta sicurezza, ovviamente facendo attenzione a non prendere troppa velocitò.
Metto quattro stellette per il valore tecnico, ma se non si amano le pendenze impegnative è meglio salire da altri versanti.
