Difficulty analysis: At 25.2 km, with 2383 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 9.5%, the Hawa Pass from Kablongpu is a very demanding hors catégorie climb. The first few kilometres, between 4% and 7% depending on the section (notably KM 2.0-3.0 at 7%), demand a steady pace that gradually wears down the legs. The finale is the hardest part: KM 23.0-24.0 averages 9%, after KM 22.0-23.0 already at 5%. Only KM 15.0-16.0, at 2%, offers a real breather in the middle of the effort.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace the start On KM 0.0-1.0 at 5% and on KM 2.0-3.0 at 7%, ride at a steady effort so you don't burn through your reserves too early.
2. Make the most of KM 15.0-16.0 This 2% section is ideal for drinking, fuelling up and relaxing your shoulders and arms before the second half of the climb.
3. Prepare for the finale Tackle KM 23.0-24.0 at 9% with a suitable gear and a steady cadence, and save some energy from KM 22.0-23.0 onwards.
