This is a particularly difficult pass in summer. The landscape becomes desolate as you climb, and there's no shade to be found for the entire 10km. Facing due south, the temperature can easily reach 35°. For this reason, the climb is recommended in the early morning.
Don't forget to fill your water bottle at the foot of the pass, at the little fountain near the start.
From the start, follow RM 2.
The first urban kilometer has steep gradients.
After the quarry, at the start of the climb, on the 3 rd kilometer, the gradient becomes steeper, with passages of over 10% for 500 m.
The remainder of the pass is steady but without any flat spots, with an average gradient of 6.5-7%.
-Wear an approved helmet
-Check the condition of your tires
-Carry a repair kit in case of a puncture
-Prefer at least one flashing LED light to be fixed to the seatpost so that you can be seen by motorists.
