la Pierre Merlière

A short, power-hike climb above La Motte-d'Aveillans in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 25.7% and start 427 m in, in the middle of the climb, so pace the first part. Facing northeast, it gets the morning sun and is shaded after that. Most runners need 12 to 20 minutes. Its 3.3 TEP puts it in the easier half of the catalogue. Graded mountain hiking: rougher ground where footing starts to matter.
