Difficulty breakdown:
This Category 1 climb is sustained but very consistent. The average gradient of 5.6% over 8.1 km is deceptive: the profile is full of stretches between 6% and 8%, with only two short significant respites (4% at KM 5.0-5.5 and 1% near the top). The absence of any extreme gradient (>9%) is offset by the length and the lack of any prolonged relief, which makes this a true test of endurance.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Hold a steady rhythm. With most of the gradients sitting around 6-7%, you can find a good tempo and keep your power consistent. That works far better than repeated surges.
2. Use the two easier sections to recover. The 4% kilometre (around 5.0-5.5 km) and the gentler finish are crucial chances to back off a little and recover before the last few hundred metres.
3. Break the climb into segments in your head. Split the ascent into 2-3 km blocks based on the changes in gradient. It keeps you focused and stops the total distance from overwhelming you.
