Climbed on 3 April 2013. The first section is quite steep but soon eases off before Nuglar village, allowing me to get a good rhythm. After Nuglar the road traversed a steep hillside, someone had been pruning fruit trees and lit a small fire to burn the cuttings. It burnt brightly in the night's gloom. There was a steep section through the woods and I thought that it might be the summit, but this only opened out into a high level with further hills behind. The road continued to climb into this last range, angling up a steep bank. There was just a tiny amount of light in the sky when the road opened out from the trees and the promise of a long fast descent into Dornach.
