Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The first section (km 0-3) is deceptive, with moderate gradients of 2-8%. It's followed by a very demanding 4 km central section (km 3-7) with gradients between 7% and 10%. The final part (km 7-12.5) is more consistent but holds an average gradient of 5-6%, which calls for sustained endurance.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Don't let the relatively easy start fool you. Save your legs for the critical 9% to 10% stretch between km 3 and km 7.
2. Endurance: Even after the hardest part, the gradient remains significant (4-7%). Hold a steady effort and don't ease off in the last 5 km.
3. Mental approach: Break the climb into three distinct segments (km 0-3, km 3-7, km 7-12.5) to make the effort easier to manage mentally.
