Is it one climb or is it two? With 8 km between the first part and the second, I'm leaning towards 2 climbs. The first part is on a very quiet and good road. The middle part undulates and swings up and down and back and forth. The end is much steeper than the profile suggests. I often read 10％ on the GPS.
