Difficulty breakdown: At 15.9 km for 661 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 4.2%, this climb is rated hors catégorie and demands careful pacing over the long haul. The crux is between km 12 and 13, where a 15% ramp covers 147 m of elevation gain and is the key section of the climb. The stretches from km 2 to 4 at 6% and from km 13 to 14 at 6% add up the fatigue, while the descending sections between km 4 and 5, km 7 and 8, and km 8 and 9 give you welcome recovery time.
Pacing tips:
1. Keep something in the tank before the km 12 wall. Ease off over the first kilometers, especially between km 2 and 4 at 6%, so you hit the 15% ramp with energy to spare.
2. Pick the right gear for the 15% section. Drop onto a light gear, stay in the saddle if you can, and keep a steady cadence so you don't dig yourself into an anaerobic hole.
3. Use the descents to recover. Take advantage of the km 7 to 9 sections (-2% then -4%) to eat, drink, and loosen up your legs before the final push from km 13 to 15.9.
