This hill has a physical difficulty of grade 6 with a solar exposure of II. The road doesn't have much to lose and is mostly covered in shade. However, during summer or very hot days, you should avoid climbing this hill. Before reaching the ridge, pay close attention to the road signs so as not to miss it. BE CAREFUL, this ascent has no runaway, if you run into a creeper you are going badly, but just as if you keep climbing you also reach the ridge. On the ridge you have to be very careful because you stumble and you go straight into the void and you don't count it.
