Difficulty breakdown: This 24.7 km HC climb is genuinely hard, thanks to its length and its 1276m of elevation gain. The 5.2% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven. The first part (km 0-6) is fairly gentle at 1-5%, but things get much harder between km 6 and 15, with a tough stretch of 7% and 8% ramps. There's a notable respite at km 17 (1%), then another series of 5-8% pitches all the way to the summit.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Start easy over the first 6 km to save your legs for the crux section (km 6-15).
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The uneven profile means you'll need to modulate your effort. Ease off a little on the 1-3% sections so you arrive fresh at the 7-8% ramps.
3. Mental chunking: Break the climb into sections based on the changes in gradient. Focus on holding a steady rhythm within each segment, especially after km 15 where the gradient stays around 5-6%.
