... were only about 3 km from the top. We thought we might get a good view and I figured I could make it 3 more kilometres. As we rounded the bend it climbed fairly steeply at 7% for about 2 km.

... he made it easily.
I stayed long enough for the obligatory photos and then descended again as it was damned freezing. Glad I had put my thermals on this morning.
The road down was just as lovely. It passed through an old abandoned military town which I must Google later. At the bottom the road follows the river for another 40 or so kilometres and once more it was just superb.
