Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This short (2.7 km) but punchy climb averages a brutal 10%. The tricky part is how it's paced: the first kilometre is "easy" at 8%, followed by a sustained middle section (10-11%) and a super steep final push at 15% over 500m before a breather at the top.

Pacing tips:

1. Pace your start: The first two sections at 8% are deceptive. Don't redline your heart rate from the bottom or you'll blow up in that 15% kilometre.

2. Save something for the wall: Keep some legs and head in reserve for the 2.0 to 2.5 km stretch at 15%. That's the key to nailing this climb.

3. Use the breather: The last section at 4% (200m) lets you recover a bit before a possible final sprint.
