2.75 km with an average gradient of 7.5% and a maximum of 11.4% for a total of 168m of positive gradient. The only "snag" is that to climb the whole route, you have to go past the entrance to Collado Uman. If you want to do both, you have to go over the top of Puerto de la Cruz and turn back a few metres to start the pass.
