Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 330 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 330 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 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 0.5–1.3, from 25 m to 92 m.
