Difficulty breakdown: This 24.6 km climb has a brutal average gradient of 12%, and the 2849m of total elevation gain confirms it. The real problem is how uneven the profile is: long stretches at 10-15% (KM8, KM13-14, KM20, KM22) are broken up by easier sections (KM7, KM15, KM19) that mess with your rhythm. The steepest kilometre hits 15% (KM 8.0-9.0).
Pacing tips:
1. Ride a steady pace by aiming for a power or heart rate you can hold for the long haul, especially on the first kilometres, which are more moderate (7-10%). Don't blow up early.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes. Use the short flatter sections (KM7, KM15) to spin easy and recover before the nasty blocks at 14-15%.
3. Manage your effort on the "walls". On the steepest parts (≥12%), stay seated to keep traction and breathing under control, and don't hesitate to drop into your granny gear early.
