Resurfaced road in 2025 this is a very nice climbing experience. It is a 'B' class road (B2042) although there is plenty of room. There is some traffic but its not usually heavy.

+
The climb is from the South and it is a fairly gradual increase of gradient and then starts to increase. There is a drop in gradient just before the last 150 meters.

The climb starts with a gentle rise which varies between 3% and 6% for the first 2 km. At the switch-back the gradient rises to a maximum of 17 %.
