Difficulty breakdown: The Kaman from Mūshqīn is a HC climb: 9.4 km, 628 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%. The real challenge is the consistency. From KM 0.0-0.5 to KM 6.0-6.5, the gradient stays almost constantly between 7% and 11%, with very steep sections like KM 2.5-3.0 (11%) or KM 2.0-2.5 (10%). The final part, easier between KM 6.5-7.0 (6%) and KM 7.5-8.0 (0%), offers little respite before the summit.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The first few km at 8% (KM 0.0-0.5) are deceptive, so keep a smooth cadence or you'll be cooked before KM 2.5-3.0.
2. Keep your gears right for the 11% section. On KM 2.5-3.0, stay seated, hold a steady cadence and don't mash the pedals.
3. Use the easier gradients to recover. Between KM 6.5-7.0 (6%) and KM 7.0-7.5 (5%), settle back into a rhythm and eat or drink before the flat at KM 7.5-8.0.
