Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb is genuinely hard, and it ramps up noticeably in the second half. The first section (KM 0-4) is fairly manageable, with gradients of 3% to 5%, and works as a warm-up. The real pain starts between KM 4 and 7, with a brutal sequence of 8%, 10% and 8%. The final kilometre at 9% takes one last bit of mental and physical grit.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Ease into the first 4 km and save your legs. Expect the big jump in gradient from KM 4.0 onwards and adjust your effort accordingly so you don't blow up.
2. Focus on the middle section: The KM 5.0-6.0 stretch at 10% is the crux. Hold a steady, controlled rhythm through this key part. The gradient eases off a little afterwards, giving you a chance to recover while still pedalling.
3. Final push: Don't let up over the last two kilometres (KM 9.0-10.3), which still hit 9% and 6%. Save something in the tank to see this demanding finish through.
