Chrea climb from Tabainet is a climb of 25.4 kilometers (hors catégorie). Chrea climb from Tabainet tops out at 1,459 m above sea level. It is located in Tabainet, Blida, Algérie ⵍⵣⵣⴰⵢⴻⵔ الجزائر. The average gradient is 6.4% with a maximum of 14.1%. The climb has 1619 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This 25.4 km HC climb is genuinely hard because of its 1,619 m of elevation gain and its length. The 6% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven, with several punchy sections at 10% around km 3-4, 14-15 and 22-23, broken up by almost flat stretches (km 10-11, km 16-17) and even a short descent (km 12-13). That constant change in gradient makes it hard to settle into a steady rhythm.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Don't get suckered into going too hard on the first steep kilometres. Settle on a power output or a gear you can hold for the long haul, especially on the 10% sections.
2. Make the most of the breathers: Use the low-gradient sections (0-2%) to recover actively: ease off a little while keeping a good cadence, so you reach the next hard sections with fresh legs.
3. Save something for the finale: The last part (km 19 to km 24) is especially brutal, with sustained 7-10% gradients. Keep some energy in reserve for this final stretch before the last, more manageable km.
