Difficulty analysis: This Cat 3 climb is moderately hard. The 7% average gradient over 2.8 km is pretty standard, but the central kilometre (1.0-1.5) at 10% is the real test, creating a spike in intensity right in the middle of the effort. The final section is nearly flat, giving you a welcome breather before the summit.
Pacing tips:
- Pace yourself from the bottom so you hit the 10% section without already being over the limit.
- Hold a steady effort on the 6-7% stretches to save something in the tank for the steepest part.
- Make the most of the last 300 metres at 0% to recover and finish the climb with the pressure off.
