A good workout and not too long

I rode this climb in 2011 in July. It is fairly consistently steep with a flat spot in the middle. It isn't particularly long, so the steepness is relatively tolerable - if it was much longer, it would be a super tough climb. It can reasonably be ridden in under an hour. Not as tough as some of the nearby climbs like Plateau d' Beille

There are good views over Ax le Thermes as you wind your way up and a large ski village at the top. There wasn't much traffic the evening that I rode it.
