Difficulty breakdown: This short climb (1.8 km) is extremely demanding because of its very steep average gradient (13.1%). The real crux is the central section, between 0.8 km and 1.2 km, where the gradient hits 22% and 20%. That's where the real work is.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Start off easy over the first kilometres (gradients of 5% to 11%) to save something in the tank for the wall at 22%.
2. Mental and physical preparation: Plan for the tough stretch between 0.8 and 1.2 km. A very low gear (e.g. 34x28 or 34x30) is strongly recommended to keep a workable cadence on the steepest ramps.
3. Active recovery: After the peak of difficulty, the gradient eases to 11%-15%. Use that relative "breather" to get your breath back before the final push at 12%.
