This is reputed to be one of the toughest climbs in the Rond de Vlaamse or Tour of Flanders. Up to 20% grade, cobblestones all the way, narrowing as you ascend the turns, about 1 km. I would have made it all the way on the mountain bike I think, but walked about 30% as I had the high gear, skinny tire road bike yesterday.
