Climb analysis: The 雅哈垭口 from Eku is a Category 1 climb, 6.6 km long with 348 m of elevation gain, at an average gradient of 5.3%. What makes it hard is the consistency: most kilometres sit between 5% and 6%, with no real relief. The toughest section comes between km 3.5 and km 4.0, at 7%. The stretch from km 4.0 to km 4.5, at 3%, is the only real breather on the climb.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. The opening kilometres at 6% (km 0.0-0.5) tempt you to go out too hard, but you need to save something for later.
2. Prepare for the 7% ramp between km 3.5 and 4.0. Shift into an easy enough gear and stay seated to keep your cadence smooth, then use the km 4.0-4.5 section at 3% to recover.
3. Keep steady over the final kilometres. Hold a consistent rhythm through km 5.5-6.0 (6%) and km 6.0-6.5 (5%), and save your final push until you can see the summit.
