Difficulty analysis: With 6.2 km for 290 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.7%, the Yetaishan is rated Category 2 and calls above all for steady, consistent effort. The difficulty lies in the steep sections at km 2.0-2.5 (9%) and km 5.5-6.0 (10%), the latter coming just before the finish, when fatigue has already set in. The rolling stretches at km 4.0-4.5 (1%) and km 5.0-5.5 (2%) offer chances to recover.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: the first kilometres at 3% (km 0.0-1.0) should not be ridden at full output, as they serve mainly to warm up your legs before the tougher gradients.
2. Recover over km 4.0-4.5: at 1%, this segment lets you settle your breathing, regain some strength and manage your rhythm before the second half of the climb.
3. Prepare for the final push at km 5.5-6.0: keep some gear in reserve and a high cadence to get over the 10% ramp without blowing up.
