Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard, with a demanding average gradient of 8.6%. The difficulty lies in its irregularity: after a relatively gentle first kilometre, a very tough stretch of almost 2 km (sections at 10% to 13%) asks for a lot of effort. A short respite around 3.5 km is followed by a brutal final ramp at 12% before an easy last bend.
Pacing tips:
1. Manage your pace from the bottom: Resist the urge to go too hard on the first 7% sections. Save your legs for the 13% wall at the 1 km mark.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The 3.5-4.0 km section at 5% is a short but key breather. Use it to recover and get ready to attack the final 12% wall.
3. Choose your gearing: Pick a gear ratio that suits the sustained 10-13% gradients over almost half the climb. Consistency will be the key.
