Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 6.3 km, no steep climbing, comes down 17% for 200 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 9.0 km, climbs 17% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 9.0–12.0, from 4 m to 177 m.
