Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 15% for 650 m midway, comes down 19% for 450 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 450 m early on, comes down 15% for 650 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.8–4.7, from 96 m to 244 m.
