Quite tricky, but get in your lowest gear, stay seated, concentrate on the line and just keep powering through the initial few hundred metres... it relents after a while in terms of terrain and steepness... though the whole climb is very long. There's also a short, but steep road section to get up before the beginning and a grassy kicker at the end. A really good and satisfying challenge all round.
