last climb of the track from the Bago de Lesuí to the track that connects to the triador. sudden rise and be aware that if it has rained recently the ground is very clayey and it becomes a mountain of mud. Although the track is wide, it is full of streams and holes. Just as the one that goes up the slopes is comfortable and easy, this one is not so much. However, the views are worth it

Spectacular and hard climb. Until Roní is the hardest part, although we can't let our guard down, the last km are unforgiving. The asphalt leaves a lot to be desired, especially going down, but still 100% recommendable.
