This route has a level 5 in our classification with around 850 meters of unevenness (equivalent to Pico UDEM) and extends for 3 kilometers. The sidewalk is somewhat heavy because it is very direct, the beginning gives us an idea of how heavy the entire route will be, during the second kilometer (after the stone bed) it starts to get steeper and this section is the heaviest. After arriving at the 'Birth', a climb begins again up the last trickle, which is a little easier because the sidewalk is making a kind of zig-zag.
