A rolling pass but with a lot of traffic including some heavy goods vehicles. A wide cycle lane allows cyclists to climb in safety. However I advise to take another pass to make the junction, for example to use the road between the cassettes and the pestle on a false uphill slope.

Even using the cycle lane I don't feel safe: heavy road traffic and a circuit popular with motorbikes which overtake you at very high speed.
