Climb difficulty analysis: With 5.1 km for 244 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.8%, this 1st category climb demands a sustained effort from start to finish. The hardest section is between 0 and 3 km, where the gradients range from 5% to 8%, with a peak at 8% between 1.5 and 2.0 km. The stretch from 3.5 to 4.5 km, almost flat then slightly downhill, gives you a real breather before the final section at 4% (4.5 to 5.0 km).
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't start too hard. From 0 to 1.5 km, at 5% and 6%, settle into a steady rhythm so you still have something in the tank for later.
2. Be ready for the 8% ramp. Between 1.5 and 2.0 km, shift into an easier gear and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Make the most of the flat. Between 3.5 and 4.5 km, recover, drink up, and get your head ready for the final 4% grind to the summit.
