Difficulty breakdown:
This climb is short (2.8 km) but brutally steep, with an average gradient of 12%, which puts it in the "very hard" category. The crux is the central section, between the 1st and 2nd kilometre, where the gradient hits 16% and even 22% over 500 metres. This stretch alone accounts for nearly half the total elevation gain (191m out of 333m), and it's the one that decides the climb.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The opening 14% section is deceptive. Don't go out too hard, or you'll have nothing left for the 22% wall.
2. Prepare for the key section (KM 1.5-2.0): Drop into an easier gear before you hit the 22% kilometre. Focus on a steady cadence and controlled breathing to get through this maximum-gradient stretch.
3. Enjoy the final respite: The last 800 metres (6% then 4%) offer a welcome break to recover and finish the climb without redlining.
