Used frequently as a crossing between Gipuzkoa and Navarra, this ascent connects Leitza with the northern side of the border through a long and steady mountain road.

The gradient remains mostly regular, making it well suited to a sustained pace rather than sharp accelerations. The road runs through dense woodland for much of the climb, with a consistent sense of effort and very few places to fully recover.
