Ardderchog - Da Iawn! I enjoyed that

tx for the video, how apropos that you caught up to a cyclist at the summit.
I was impressed at how busy the road was, lots of different kinds of traffic.

bloody road was closed today!

ah well, I climbed it in 1990 and I was surprised at how much of it I remember of the climb, though there wasn't anywhere near the traffic, save for some sheep very near the top where it got really steep....I honestly don't know if I could manage it now, but yeah good times, thanks for sharing!

If only it were this easy on a bike!! Good luck on the Etape, the climb up to Hautacam is a killer too!

It's nice to remember the whole way to the summit. One year and a half later of my climb I still feel eager to stay there again!

Good to hear you enjoyed it, it really is an awesome climb. We do it again this year on the Etape!

but not from this direction - we hit it from the Mongie side. Fun either way!

Fun indeed! I hear the last 3km from La Mongie has just been resurfaced, but the Luz side is still a tad gravelly. We were there 2 weeks ago - there was still snow on the road verges at the summit of the col. Hope it's warmer on Sunday. Good luck.
