A gloriously rewarding climb from both directions. Starting in La Garottxa, from St Privat d'en Bas it's a brutal HC cat climb with irregular but wicked steep gradients and a far from perfect road surface, although doable with a road bike. From Osona side, it's a perfect road surface and far more forgiven cat 1 climb, but the last few Kms bite!

It's best to climb this on the steep side. The road surface is good enough for climbing, but I wouldn't like to descent on it.

Also, the first half is very steep. And the second half also feels horrible, even though the profile looks "okay". It's the combination of tired legs and steep ramps. The rest in-between the ramps does not feel like enough 🤣
