Montée très raide mais pas très longue, et heureusement car c'est vraiment difficile. La partie initiale est la plus raide, et on l'entame sans élan quel que soit l'endroit dont on arrive

A climb with 3 punctures that in many lists is nevertheless extremely heavy and that is certainly not a lie. Fortunately it is not too long and if you survive the first two bumps the worst is already over. The road surface leaves something to be desired here and there and with wet weather you can certainly slide away on the gravel sections, but the col is certainly doable. If you turn right at the top, you can descend again to start the next climbs, but for me that was rather with the brakes on the terrible road surface. Anyway, I don't think there's really an alternative, especially if you want to go up the Thier de Huy or Montagne Corroy afterwards, both highly recommended.
Een beklimming met 3 prikjes die in menig lijstje toch als uiterst zwaar wordt bestippeld en dat is zeker niet gelogen. Hij is gelukkig niet al te lang en als je de eerste twee bultjes overleefd is het ergste al wel voorbij. Het wegdek laat hier en daar de wensen over en met nat weer kun je zeker wegschuiven op de stukken met grind, maar haalbaar is de col zeker wel. Als je boven rechts afdraait kan je opnieuw dalen om de volgende beklimmingen aan te vatten, maar dat ging bij mij op het erbarmelijke wegdek eerder toch met de remmen toe. Enfin, ik denk niet dat er echt een alternatief is, zeker als je erna graag de Thier de Huy of Montagne Corroy opwilt, allebei ook aanraders.
