Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 450 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 13% for 450 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+) 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 3.7–5.0, from 63 m to 180 m.
