La Maladrerie from Walcourt

At just 1.3km, La Maladrerie from Walcourt is short but deceptively intense — 64m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 4.9% disguises ramps of 13% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Wallonia, Belgium.
