The Col de Menté is not one of the truly famous French Pyrenees passes, although it has a permanent place in Tour de France history. His journeys are not too long, but just the West approach has a slope average of almost 10%.

Magnificent pass to be done preferably Ger de Boutx, from Aspet.
After a 7 km “false flat” and a few 12% ramps, the 7 km pass presents itself to us. Typical Pyrenean pass with ever steeper slopes as you approach the summit.
