Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb has a two-part profile. The first 3 kilometres are fairly easy (average gradient of 2.3%), more of a warm-up. The real difficulty starts after KM 1.5, with a central section of almost 4 kilometres where the gradient holds steady between 6% and 7%, and where most of the elevation gain is packed. The finish is a little easier (3-5%), but too short to give you any real respite.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Start easy: Use the first 1.5 kilometres to settle into a steady endurance rhythm without redlining. The low gradient allows it.
2. Focus on the 6-7% section: From KM 1.5 on, dial in your effort to hold a consistent pace over the long, punishing stretch, which is the heart of the climb.
3. Save something for the finish: Don't ease off at KM 5.0 just because the gradient drops to 3%. The last stretch at 5% still asks for one final push.
