Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb has a very uneven profile. The main challenge is the first four kilometres, with brutal gradients (7% to 11%), followed by an almost flat recovery section (KM 4-7) that even includes a short descent. The hard effort kicks back in over the last five kilometres (8-9% grades), so you need to manage your effort carefully.
Pacing tips:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go over the top on the 11% ramp in km 2. Save something in the tank for the final part.
2. Active recovery: Use the central plateau (KM 4-7) to ease off the pressure a little, drink and eat without losing rhythm.
3. Gradual pick-up: Get ready for the gradient to return from KM 9. Gradually raise your cadence so you hit the final section (9%) with a good tempo.
