Difficulty breakdown: With 4,392 m of elevation gain over 34.7 km, this climb is extremely demanding. The average gradient of 12.6% is deceptive because the profile is very uneven. The real difficulty lies in the string of sections over 9% (km 3-4, 7-8, 29-30) and the lack of any real flat stretches to recover on, aside from a few slight descents.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing yourself: Settle into a steady rhythm with a low cadence on the sustained gradients (7-11%) to save your legs. Avoid surging.
2. Making the most of the rare flat or downhill sections: Km 19-20 and 26-27 are slightly downhill. Use them to ease the pressure on your legs and recover without stopping pedalling.
3. Anticipating gradient changes: The gradient changes often. Anticipate the steep ramps (like at km 29) so you aren't caught out, and shift to an easier gear in advance.
