Difficulty analysis: At 8.2 km, this climb is a real beast, rated beyond categorisation, with a brutal average gradient of 8.4%. What makes it so hard is how uneven it is: the first kilometre is very steep (10-11%), followed by a demanding middle section with a 12% ramp at KM 3, before the gradient eases slightly after KM 6.5. The effort is intense and sustained.
How to manage the effort:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first few hundred metres at 10-11%. Settle into a steady rhythm you can hold for the long haul.
2. Use the changes in gradient: The gradient drops to 6%, then 3%, between KM 3.5 and KM 6.5. Use these sections to recover actively (keeping a good cadence) before the final ramps at 7-8%.
3. Gear selection: With several sections at 11-12%, you need to pick a gear carefully so you don't grind to a halt and burn out your legs.
