Difficulty breakdown: This climb has a tough profile, with a very hard first half (over 12% gradient for 2 km) followed by a clear breather at km 2.5 (2%) before a steady but sustained second half (5-9%). The difficulty lies in the brutal succession of steep ramps right from the start.
How to pace yourself:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: Don't blow up in the first kilometres at 12-13%. Start at a pace you can actually hold.
2. Make the most of the breather at km 2.5: The 2-3% section is crucial for recovering and bringing your heart rate down before the rest of the climb.
3. Settle into a steady rhythm for the final stretch: The last half, though less steep, needs constant power to keep your speed up on the 5-9% gradients.
