I had to stop onthe steepest parts of both the Koppenberg and the Muur last year due to numpty Belgians toppling over and blocking the road. There is no way you can get going again once you stop so, after delivering a short lesson in English swear words, I ran up the hill until it levelled off a bit and I could remount.
