Difficulty breakdown: At 9.3 km, with an average gradient of 6.1% and 566 m of elevation gain, the Dharmour from Belar is a demanding HC climb. The start is brutal, with 12% from km 0.0 to 0.5, then 10% up to km 1.5. The difficulty then spreads across an uneven profile, with rolling sections, a few descending stretches between km 4.5 and 6.5, and a finale at 9% from km 6.5 to 7.0, then 11% from km 9.0 to 9.3.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first kilometers at 10-12% will try to blow up your legs, so settle into an easy gear and a steady cadence right from km 0.0.
2. Recover on the easier sections. Between km 1.5 and 3.5, the gradient drops to 5-7%, and km 3.5-4.0 is barely 1%: use that to drink, eat, and loosen up your shoulders.
3. Save something for the finish. After the descent from km 6.0 to 6.5, the kick back up to 9% and the final 11% ramp from km 9.0 to 9.3 demand a burst of power, so hold back some energy for those last few hundred meters.
