1km, I don't know the gradient, but by the looks of it, non-trivial.

the surface of the road doesn't look very helpful either...

You want to ride out there one Saturday arvo and we'll measure it up?
AFAIK it's not in C2M, so you'll get the first record up it, and I'll
get the 2nd! (for ... not very long! There's some kid on a BMX or a
giant or some other shitter who'll be quicker than I )

The bulk of the GT field is made up of local riders who are not pros,
you'll see them out racing B & C grade crits. Just FYI For the
record, the winner of this year's GT ITT (8km, 11:07) was doing around
43km/h for the 8km. That's a European female professional.

i remember doing it on an Audax ride. Did some of it on one wheel it was so steep (I had a pannier on the bike).

I've ridden up it with loaded panniers and it's possibly steeper than
it looks. I was standing and working REALLY hard in a 19" gear to get
up it...
