Difficulty analysis: At 14.3 km with 958 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%, the Simbhanjyang Pass from Dobate is a demanding climb, rated beyond categorisation. Its difficulty lies mainly in its consistency: almost every kilometre sits between 4% and 8%, with no real respite. The steepest sections are at KM 8.0-9.0 (7%), KM 12.0-13.0 (8%) and KM 13.0-14.0 (7%), so in the second half of the climb, where fatigue builds up.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first kilometres at 3% (KM 0.0-1.0) tempt you to ride too hard, but you need to hold a steady, measured effort to reach the 6% and 7% ramps in the middle of the climb with plenty left in the tank.
2. Ration your efforts in the middle section. Make the most of the easier stretches, such as KM 3.0-4.0 (4%) or KM 11.0-12.0 (3%), to recover and get some food and drink in without wasting energy.
3. Save something for the finish. Tackle KM 12.0-13.0 at 8% and KM 13.0-14.0 at 7% with a suitable gear and legs still fresh, because that's where your climb is won or lost.
