Difficulty breakdown: At 11.3 km, with 812 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.2%, this beyond category (HC) climb is tough and consistent. The gradient stays relentless from bottom to top, and only the first kilometre, at 5%, offers any real respite. The sections at 8% (KM 4.0-5.0, KM 6.0-7.0, KM 7.0-8.0 and KM 10.0-11.0) are the hardest parts, while most of the other kilometres sit around 7%. This climb is about steady pacing rather than one big dig.
Pacing tips:
1. Control the start: KM 0.0-1.0, at 5%, is the easiest section, so use it to find a steady rhythm and don't go out too hard.
2. Prepare for the 8% sections: at KM 4.0-5.0, 6.0-7.0, 7.0-8.0 and 10.0-11.0, drop into an easy gear and keep a smooth, steady cadence.
3. Save something for the finish: KM 11.0-11.3, at 7%, brings you home, so don't blow your last reserves on the 8% section before it.
