Take the short steep climb and descend via the long route, then you can repeat the climb several times without getting in each other's way. Path is quite narrow

The Maeslantkering, near Hoek van Holland, is a gigantic flood barrier with the largest movable parts in the world. It can withstand a large tidal wave of 5 meters above NAP. This 'closes automatically' megastructure, built between '91 and '97, consists of two enormous doors that can close in two hours. Although it works automatically, a Rijkswaterstaat team always keeps an eye out for manual actions when expected high water levels.
