Difficulty breakdown: At 14.6 km with 645 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.4%, Cambewarra Lookout is a demanding climb, rated hors catégorie. The real work is concentrated between km 1.0 and km 4.0, where the gradient hits 9% over three consecutive kilometres. The route then drops for a stretch between km 6.0 and 8.0, before a final section at 8% from km 14.0 to 14.6 that will really test your legs.
Tips for the climb:
1. Pace yourself early. The km 0.0-1.0 section at 5% looks benign, but keep it under your threshold so you still have something left for the 9% block.
2. Manage the 9% section. Across km 1.0-2.0, 2.0-3.0 and 3.0-4.0, spin a steady cadence and pick a gear easy enough that you're not mashing the pedals.
3. Recover on the descent. Across km 6.0-7.0 and 7.0-8.0, soft-pedal, rehydrate and top up your reserves before the final 8% section.
