Shape: sustained — 30% of the climbing sits in a quarter of the distance; longest continuous stretch at 10%+ is 357 m.

Found purely from mapping and LiDAR data, and not yet matched against books, race records or lists — it may be well known to locals under a name we've never heard. It was cross-checked against the NVDB road network, OpenStreetMap and a second terrain model, but a discovery can still be an artifact of the terrain model or the map. Treat it as a well-evidenced hypothesis until someone has ridden it. If you know this road, tell us what you found — photographs, corrections and local knowledge all welcome; the map links below let you scout it first.

This climb's data: OCL JSON — the full gradient ladder, quality flags and provenance in the OpenClimb Ladder format.

Surface: unpaved (97% unpaved), according to NVDB, Norway's National Road Database: paved for the first 89 m; unpaved from 89 m to 2,450 m; off the road model from 2,450 m to the top. The steepest 25 m lies on the unpaved part.

Measured, not vetted. This page records what the laser record shows about the road's shape — nothing more. Nobody has necessarily ridden or inspected this road for the survey, and a page here is not a recommendation and no guarantee that the road is open, surfaced, rideable or safe. Gates, private sections, missing rights of way and hazards do not show up in elevation data. Check access and conditions on the ground and make your own judgment.

Route colour = gradient over a 25 m window: <10% 10–20% 20–25% ≥25%

Route line = the road surface as the LiDAR survey finds it. Basemap roads are for orientation and may sit a few metres off.

Profile

The map, profile and gradient chart share one position — move your pointer over them and the marker follows. Colors are the gradient bands; the shaded span is the steepest 25 m. Any 25 m figure is good to about a point either way (why).
