Alto Verjon is a climb of 11.5 kilometers (hors catégorie). Alto Verjon tops out at 3,276 m above sea level. It is located in Bogotá, Bogotá, Distrito Capital, Colombia. The average gradient is 6.6% with a maximum of 17.7%. The climb has 758 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The first half (KM 2 to 6) is very demanding, with three kilometres at 8-9%. There's a relative breather between KM 7 and 9 (gradients of 2-3%), but the climb finishes with two brutal final kilometres at 9% and 6%, which makes it a tough finish.
Pacing advice:
1. Start easy: Resist the urge to go hard from the gun. The first kilometre at 6% is followed by a flat section (KM 1-2), so use it to recover before the hard stretch.
2. Ride in rhythm: Alternate the high-intensity efforts (KM 2-6) with active recovery on the easier sections (KM 7-9) so you hit the final with something left in the tank.
3. Save something for the finish: Don't underestimate the last kilometres (KM 9-11). The 9% ramp after an easier section can bite hard if your effort isn't well distributed.
