The climb is the steep fragment of the road. In road cycling, climbs should be categorized by the effort necessary to overcome it. Two values have the greatest influence on a difficulty of the climb: its average slope (rise/run ratio) and length. A simple approach to describing a climb's difficulty is multiplication slope squared and run. In this paper, the beginning of the climb is mathematically established to get the most reliable difficulty index. Moreover, it is presented a special case where the value of difficulty index does not depend on the location of the beginning point.
