Difficulty breakdown:
This Category 1 climb gets progressively harder. The first half (0-3.5 km) is fairly steady, with gradients of 4 to 7%, and serves as a warm-up. The real test comes in the second half, with a tough stretch between km 5.5 and 7.0, where the gradient hits 8%, 8% and, above all, 10%. The final section eases off noticeably (3%), offering a welcome breather.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Start conservatively over the first kilometres, which are less steep, to save your legs. The main effort should come between km 5.5 and 7.0.
2. Prepare for the steep ramp at the end: The 10% section (km 6.5-7.0) is the crux of the climb. Tackle it with something left in the tank and a gear you can spin, so you don't blow up.
3. Active recovery: Use the last half-kilometre at 3% to ease off a little and recover before any sprint to the top.
