Difficulty breakdown: This 8.7 km climb has a very uneven profile. The main challenge is the string of steep sections (6-8% right from the start) alternating with near-flat or slightly downhill stretches, especially between km 2.5 and 6.0. That profile kills your rhythm. The finale, with a short 16% wall at km 6.5, is tough but brief. The 4.7% average gradient is deceptive.
How to manage your effort:
1. Pacing: Don't let the steep opening kilometres suck you in. Start at a measured tempo you can hold through the 7-8% sections. The goal is to save something for the 16% wall.
2. Make use of the breathers: The longer flat sections (km 2.5-3.0, 4.5-5.0, 5.5-6.0) are crucial. Ease off a touch to recover without losing all your momentum.
3. Plan for the finish: Keep some energy in reserve for km 6.0-6.5. The gradient there is very steep but short. Once you're through that section, the climb becomes manageable all the way to the summit.
