Difficulty breakdown: This climb has an uneven profile, with the hardest section concentrated in the second half-kilometre (10% gradient). The rest of the climb is moderate, with a long, relatively flat middle section (KM 1.0 to 2.5 at 2-3%) before a steady finish at 6%. The average gradient of 6% is misleading because of how the climb is distributed.
Pacing advice:
1. Manage the initial spike: Don't go out too hard over the first kilometre, especially on the 10% section, or you'll blow up early.
2. Make the most of the middle section: Use kilometres 1.5 to 2.5 (2-3% gradients) to recover and settle into a steady breathing rhythm before the final push.
3. Hold a steady rhythm to the top: The last kilometres at 6% demand a sustained but consistent effort. Adjust your gearing accordingly so you finish strong.
