The difficulty lies mainly in its consistency: the gradient stays between 8% and 12% for most of the climb, with only one real respite between 1.0 and 1.5 km (-3%).

Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start. The first 500 metres at 1% feel easy, but the 0.5-1.0 km section at 8% comes on quickly: find a sustainable rhythm without burning your matches.
2. Make the most of the descent between km 1.0 and 1.5. This -3% stretch is the only real recovery on the climb: spin the legs out, drink and eat a little before attacking the steep part.
3. Prepare for the wall at km 4.0-4.5. Drop into an easy gear before the 16% ramp, keep a smooth cadence and don't exceed your threshold, then settle into a steady rhythm to hold on until the finish.
