This segment contains a succession of short but very steep climbs (15-20%!). If you're doing a longer ride, this will really burn up your energy. If I was to do it again, I would look for a workaround.

A hell of a shady pass, so be careful of the road which can sometimes be slippery. The reward is beautiful: a crazy view and a fast descent.
