Difficulty breakdown: At 10.5 km, with an average gradient of 9% and 952 m of elevation gain, the Shankharapur Climb fully earns its HC rating. Most of the damage is done between km 0 and km 4, where the gradient hovers between 10% and 12% with no real respite. From km 5 to km 8, with gradients of 4 to 7%, you get a more manageable stretch, before the road kicks back up to 11% between km 9 and km 10 to finish the climb off.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your first few kilometres. Don't go out too hard on km 0 to 1 at 10%, because that mistake will cost you dearly on the 12% section from km 1 to 2.
2. Make the most of the easier stretch from km 5 to km 8. With gradients between 4% and 7%, hold a steady rhythm and recover as much as you can before the final push.
3. Save something for the 11% finale. Keep some energy in the tank and a suitable gear for km 9 to 10, where the gradient gets tough again before the summit.
