Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The gradient is mostly steady at 4-6% over the first 3 kilometres, but there is a harder section between 3.0 and 4.0 km, where the gradient peaks at 8%. Although short, this stretch is the main challenge of the climb.
How to manage your effort:
1. Save something for the crucial kilometre. Pace yourself conservatively over the first half so you reach the 6-8% section (KM 2.5 to 4.0) without already being over your limit.
2. Anticipate the change of tempo. Around KM 3.0, the gradient ramps up noticeably. Get ready mentally and physically for the increase by easing off the pedal pressure slightly before you attack this section.
3. Use the finish to recover. The last two kilometres (4.0 to 5.1 km) ease off to 4%. Use this easier part to settle your breathing and finish strong.
