Difficulty breakdown: The Świnna climb has a contrasting profile. The first half (1.5 km) is fairly manageable, with gradients of 3% to 5%. Things get much harder on the central 1 km section (KM 1.5-2.5), where a steep, constant 13% grade accounts for nearly two-thirds of the total elevation gain. The finish is easier at 6%. The climb is short (2.6 km), but its brutal middle section makes up for that.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing your effort on the 13% section: Expect the steep ramp. Save some energy in the first few kilometers so you reach the heart of the climb without already being in the red.
2. Choosing the right gearing: Run a low enough gear to keep a comfortable cadence on the 13% pitches, or you'll end up mashing and blowing up both mentally and physically.
3. Focusing on the hard part: Once you pass KM 2.5, the gradient eases to 6%. Use that last stretch to recover a bit before any final sprint.
