Running
Great steep 500m climb. This is where the pump really starts to work when you run. At times you thought you were at the top, but then came the next steep staircase.
Some of the steps were really short (especially the metal ones) and sometimes you had to wait until the people before you were at the top. But if you run here in the morning it is usually empty.

The gorge divides the mountain into two parts. It is very narrow and you can only climb the specially built metal staircase one at a time. Overtaking is not possible. …
