Difficulty analysis: The Yamda La is a 2.1 km climb with 265 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 12.6%, which earns it a Category 1 classification. The first three kilometres hold a steady 10% gradient, demanding a sustained, constant effort with no real chance to recover. The section between 1.5 and 2.0 km ramps up to 15% and is the hardest part of the climb, arriving when your legs are already well into it.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Find a steady rhythm from the start For the first 1.5 km at 10%, settle into a smooth cadence so you have something left for the end.
2. Shift to an easier gear for the 15% section Between 1.5 and 2.0 km, drop to a lighter gear and stay seated if you can, to keep your cadence up.
3. Don't go out too hard Going into the red on the early 10% kilometres will cost you dearly when the gradient hits 15% near the top.
