Tips

Difficulty breakdown: The Badh Bhanjyang is an HC climb: 14.6 km for 1318 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 9%. The first three kilometres, at 10-11%, mean you have to find your rhythm right from the bottom of the pass. The difficulty also comes from the inconsistency: the easier stretches (4% between km 3.0 and 4.0, 4% between km 7.0 and 8.0, 2-3% between km 9.0 and 11.0) are short and followed by 11% ramps at km 8.0-9.0.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace yourself from the start. Between km 0.0 and 3.0, at 10-11%, stay in a controlled zone so you don't pay for it over the rest of the climb.

2. Make the most of the rolling sections. Between km 3.0 and 4.0, 7.0 and 8.0, then 9.0 and 11.0, push a little harder to recover without wasting your legs.

3. Save something for the end. From km 11.0 to 14.6, between 7% and 9%, you need a steady, consistent effort; keep some in the tank to hold that pace all the way to the top.
