      El pas que s'ha de fer a peu són uns 50 m+ (és un tram entre roques no gaire còmode de caminar, però es deixa fer); després hi ha 50 m+ encara força pendents que els que van amb ciclomotor suposo que ja poden pedalar, però la resta és força improbable (algun/a màquina suposo que sí, però poquets poquets). Per tant, per a la majoria hi ha 100 m+ de caminar. L'accés al cim sí que es fa bé. Un cop a dalt la baixada per l'altre costat tampoc és tot cara avall i cal pedalar sovint a la part intermèdia. Els que busquin baixades amb continuïtat, no és el seu sender; si es busca ambient de muntanya, és perfecte.
