Difficulty breakdown: At 12.3 km, with 727 m of climbing and an average gradient of 5.9%, La Salle from Solābāṅ earns its hors catégorie rating. The climb is steady and demanding, with several sections at 8 and 9% between KM 1.0-2.0, KM 2.0-3.0, KM 3.0-4.0 and KM 5.0-6.0. The KM 7.0-8.0 section, a -2% descent, gives you a short breather, but most of the difficulty comes in the first half of the climb.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Ease into the start. KM 0.0-1.0 at 5% is the most manageable stretch. Use it to settle into a steady rhythm without burning your matches before the 9% sections.
2. Control your effort on the steep bits. On KM 1.0-2.0 and KM 3.0-4.0 at 9%, stay seated, keep a smooth cadence and avoid surging out of the saddle, which drains your legs fast.
3. Recover on the descent. The slight -2% downhill on KM 7.0-8.0 is your chance to drink, eat something and relax your shoulders before the KM 9.0-10.0 section at 6%.
