Difficulty analysis:
This 3rd category climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 5.6% is fairly standard, but the profile is tougher in the first half. The first four kilometres string together gradients between 6% and 7%, forming the core of the effort. The final section (2.5-3.0 km) at only 2% offers a welcome breather to recover before the summit.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: The first 500m at 5% give you time to find your rhythm without blowing up before the steeper sections.
2. Save some in the tank for the 7% stretches: Hold a steady effort over the four steepest segments (0.5-2.5 km), which account for most of the elevation gain.
3. Use the final stretch to recover: Use the last 500m of low gradient to ease off and roll into the finish feeling fresher.
