Armenia is a climb of 13.9 kilometers (hors catégorie). Armenia tops out at 1,801 m above sea level. It is located in n/a, Antioquia, Colombia. The average gradient is 9.0% with a maximum of 13%. The climb has 1243 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard, with a brutal average gradient of 9% over almost 14 km. The main challenge lies in its irregularity and its extreme finale. After a gentler section (KM 8-11, gradients of 2-6%), the last kilometre (KM 13.0-13.9) is exceptionally steep, with 30% gradients that alone account for more than 20% of the total elevation gain.
Tips for pacing:
1. Managing your rhythm: Don't blow up in the first kilometres (gradients of 7-9%). Use the flattest section (KM 8-11, 2-3% gradient) to recover actively before the final ordeal.
2. Mental and physical preparation for the finale: Save something in the tank for the last kilometre. A 30% gradient calls for a suitable gear and a short, explosive effort. Anticipate that sudden change in gradient.
