Kuh-e Genu is a climb of 32.5 kilometers (hors catégorie). Kuh-e Genu tops out at 2,319 m above sea level. It is located in دهستان تازیان, استان هرمزگان, ایران. The average gradient is 7.8% with a maximum of 17.2%. The climb has 2547 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: An extremely demanding HC climb over 32.5 km. The difficulty comes from its length combined with a high average gradient (7.8%) and a particularly brutal finale, with ramps at 10-12% between km 24 and 28. The two short descents (km 23 and km 30) offer brief respite but do little to make up for the overall severity.
Pacing advice:
1. Steady rhythm in the first part: The first 15 km have varied gradients (0-9%). Avoid redlining on the 9% sections so you have something left for the much harder finale.
2. Save something for the hard finish: Keep some reserves for km 24 to 28, where the gradient stays above 9% throughout. The final section (km 32-32.5 at 11%) demands one last focused effort.
3. Make use of the flat sections: The flat km (km 4-5) and the gentle descents (km 23-24, km 30-31) are key for recovering and taking on food and drink without losing momentum.
