The climb
Leontica climbs 3.0 km at an average of 8.5%, gaining 255 m to a summit at 874 m. The gradient barely moves: kilometre after kilometre sits within a point of that average, so the figure describes the whole climb rather than smoothing anything out.
The hardest kilometre measures 9.2% and comes in the final third of the climb, and 2 kilometres of the ascent average more than 8%.
