Difficulty analysis: At 7.3 km, this climb is rightly rated HC. The difficulty builds progressively and peaks in the middle section. The four km between KM 3.5 and KM 7.0 are the hardest stretch, with gradients between 12% and 14%, and that's where the real work is done. The final 11% after a brief easing requires you to keep something in the tank.
How to manage the effort:
1. Start controlled: The first two km (6%-9%) are for finding your rhythm without blowing up early.
2. Save something for the crux: Expect the sudden jump in gradient from KM 4.0 (14%) and pace yourself so you can hold it over the length of this punishing section.
3. Make the most of the breather: The short 2% stretch (KM 6.5-7.0) is crucial for recovering a few seconds before tackling the steep finale.
