Difficulty analysis: Over 6.3 km for 441 m of elevation gain, this climb averages 7%, which puts it clearly in first-category col territory. The real challenge is consistency: almost every kilometer sits between 6% and 8%, with only one easier stretch at 5% between 2.0 and 2.5 km. The start, at 9% for the first 500 metres, sets the tone and can catch out riders who go too hard too soon.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The first 500 metres at 9% are the classic trap: start at a sensible cadence so you reach the end of that section with something left in the tank.
2. Make the most of the 5% section. Between 2.0 and 2.5 km the gradient eases off: it's the perfect moment to recover, drink, and build back up some speed before what's ahead.
3. Stay steady on the 8% sections. Between 4.5 and 5.0 km, then again between 5.5 and 6.0 km, keep a gear you can hold and a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
