This very steep climb rises above Curral das Freiras. Expect 48 to 82 minutes. The hardest 500 metres average 33.7% and start 2.4 km in, so the worst of it lands when you are already committed. East-facing, so it takes the morning sun and is in shade by the afternoon. At 19.0 TEP it is harder than 93% of the climbs in the catalogue. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care.
