Tips for managing the effort:
1. Start easy: The first section at 7% is the "easy" part. Use it to settle into your effort without blowing your heart rate from the very start.
2. Prepare for the wall: Tackle the 14% kilometer (0.5-1.0 km) with easy gears and a steady rhythm. This is the key section where you need to manage your effort so you don't run out of gas.
3. Active recovery: After this peak, the 10-11% gradients all the way to the summit remain tough. Keep a steady cadence to finish the climb without cracking.
