Doesn't everything get better after a 21 km climb?

To the original poster: I am not sure about August, but do expect temperatures to be lower at the top than at the bottom, as is the case for most hills. You might appreciate armwarmers on the way down...

I was there in late May but didn't get to climb because there was too much snow. The temperature difference as you climb can be significant.
