Tizi N'Tirghist is a climb of 17.8 kilometers (hors catégorie). Tizi N'Tirghist tops out at 2,618 m above sea level. It is located in Timit ⵜⵉⵎⵉⵜ تميت, n/a, Maroc ⵍⵎⵖⵔⵉⴱ المغرب. The average gradient is 4.9% with a maximum of 15.5%. The climb has 879 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This climb has a deceptive profile. The first 9 km are very gentle (average gradient < 2%), but the difficulty ramps up sharply from KM 10 onward. The middle section (KM 10 to 15) is very demanding, with gradients swinging between 6% and 11%, packing most of the elevation gain into a short distance.
Pacing advice:
- Spin along in Zone 2 for the first half to save your legs. Resist the urge to go too hard on the flat or downhill sections.
- Prepare for the wall from KM 10 and adjust your effort as soon as the first 6% ramps appear. Find a steady rhythm to get through the 5 steepest km (up to KM 15).
- Save something for the finish: the gradient eases back to 4-5% over the final kilometres, so you can kick on if you've paced the middle of the climb well.
