2. Choosing your gearing: Set yourself up with a gear that suits the sustained 10-12% sections in the middle. Don't blow up by mashing too hard on the steepest ramps.
3. Breaking it up mentally: Split the climb into three parts: the approach (0-2 km), the hard core (2-4.5 km), and the finish (4.5-5.3 km). Focus on holding your cadence through the middle section.
