Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 550 m early on, comes down 18% for 990 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 990 m early on, comes down 17% for 550 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–1.1, from 248 m to 433 m.
