Col de Pailheres or Ax 3 Domaines

Steph and I are considering which col to climb! both are part of stage 14 of the tour this year>>> col de pailheres was always our first choice as it had the kudos of exceeding 2000m in height, however the Ax 3 Domianes is the actual finish for the stage, and is actually a more arduous climb but only half the distance.. maybe we'll see how we feel when we get there
