Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb gets harder as it goes. The first half (0-2.5 km) is relatively "easy" at 6-8% gradients, but the difficulty ramps up noticeably after the 3.5 km mark, with a tough sequence of three 11% sections right in the heart of the climb. The last part (5.0-5.3 km) at 7% gives you a bit of breathing room before the finish.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Save something in the tank for the central 2 km (3.5-4.5 km), the steepest part. Don't burn matches in the easier opening kilometres.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: There's no such thing as a steady climb. Shift into the right gear and adjust your effort as you approach each section, especially before the 11% kicker.
3. Split the climb into thirds: Think of it in three parts: a measured start (0-3.0 km), an intense core (3.0-4.5 km) and a "recovery" finish (4.5-5.3 km).
