Which way round
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 17% for 550 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 550 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 0.5–2.0, from 135 m to 262 m.
