How we score difficulty
The difficulty score is the FIETS index: elevation gain squared, divided by ten times the distance in metres (H² / (D × 10)), plus one point for every 1,000 m the summit lies above 1,000 m. No road climb on our list is that high, so in Mallorca the score comes down to the size and steepness of the climb.
Long, gentle climbs score lower than their editorial 1–5 difficulty, which is our own judgement of the whole ride. Use the score to compare climbs on size and steepness, and the 1–5 label for the full picture.
