Difficulty breakdown: With 6.6 km, 912 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 13.8%, Mount Nangaoto is a particularly punishing HC climb. The first 3.5 km never drop below 10%, with a 24% ramp between 1.5 and 2.0 km that is the hardest point of the climb. The 4.0 to 4.5 km section, almost flat at 1%, gives you too short a breather to really recover before a second half just as steep, especially between 5.0 and 5.5 km at 19%. The effort is long, uneven and has no real rest stop.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first two kilometres at 11% look manageable, but save something for the 1.0 to 3.5 km section where the gradient climbs between 17% and 24%.
2. Manage your effort between 1.5 and 2.0 km. On this 24% ramp, keep a smooth cadence and a steady rhythm, and stay seated to save your legs.
3. Make the most of the 4.0 to 4.5 km flat. Use this 1% stretch to drink, take on food and get your breathing back before tackling the series of steep sections between 4.5 and 5.5 km.
