In order to understand the final 8 kms of the beast that is the Galibier I attempted to walk the final 8kms. The road is not as steep as it first looked as there are some switch backs to take some of the pain out, well at least until the last 2 kms that is. Then it looks mental! It was like looking at Hardknott and thinking how the hell did they build a road up there? I couldn't walk the last 2km as there was serious avalance risk, and in the middle of the afternoon I didn't want to risk it. So here are a couple of photos of the last sections.....
