Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 8.3 km for 695 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 8.4%, which makes it a long and demanding ascent. The hardest section is between KM 3.0 and KM 3.5 at 9%, followed by KM 5.0 to KM 5.5 at 8%. The gradient never drops below 4% and mostly sits between 6% and 7% over most of the route, so you'll be working hard from the bottom to the top.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The opening kilometres, at 4% from KM 0.0 to KM 0.5, are deceptive: keep a steady cadence so you still have something in the tank for later.
2. Prepare for the 9% section. Between KM 3.0 and KM 3.5, shift to an easier gear and stay seated to hold a smooth cadence without blowing up.
3. Save something for the finish. After the 8% ramps from KM 5.0 to KM 5.5, manage your effort until KM 8.0 to KM 8.3, where the gradient eases to 5% and you can finish strong if you've kept your rhythm steady.
