10/8/14, Col de la Croix de Fer, 34.8mi, 1c1, 1c2, 1c5 (really an HC), C1819

Memorable but difficult climb up to this pass in Savoie, tougher than Alpe d'Huez, colder and windier too. Started with a long steep ascent for 6km, then maybe 1km of relatively flat, then a descent, then 10km of steep climbing and yet more climbing after that. Total ascent of 6233.77 ft and maximum elevation of 6,775.2 ft. My MMR didn't unpause after the Col so below is from Foster's.

After this we decided we'd had enough of the Alps for this trip and decided to head back to Ansouis.
