Difficulty breakdown: At 21.1 km, with 765 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.6%, the Yetaishan from Hongshui is a demanding Category 1 climb, mainly because of its length. The effort is uneven: km 0-1 and 17-18 sit at 6%, and km 20-21 peaks at 7%, making it the steepest section of the climb. Between km 10 and 14, the gradient stays under 2%, which gives you a chance to recover before the final push.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Don't go out too hard. The opening kilometres at 6% will tempt you to attack, but you need a steady cadence and controlled effort to make it to the top.
2. Recover on the flat section at km 6-7. This 0% stretch is the perfect place to drink, fuel up and get your breathing back before the climb resumes.
3. Save something for km 20-21. Between km 10 and 14, ride at a comfortable pace on the 1-2% grades, then tackle the 7% finale in a gear you can spin with some reserves left in the tank.
