Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb is tough because of its length and its 1618 m of elevation gain. The average gradient of 6.3% looks manageable on paper, but the real difficulty is how inconsistent it is. Two short descents (KM 2-3 and KM 7-8) break your rhythm, and the steep sections (KM 4-6 at 8%) take a lot out of your legs.
Pacing advice:
1. Managing the gradient changes: Use the flatter sections (KM 1-2, 8-9, 10-11) and the two short descents to recover actively without losing momentum.
2. Don't go into the red: Keep a tight rein on your power in the first kilometres at 8%, or you'll burn through your reserves too early.
3. Steady rhythm: The second half is remarkably consistent (gradients of 4 to 6%). Find a rhythm you can sustain from KM 15 and hold it all the way to the summit.
