Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 720 m early on, comes down 12% for 320 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 320 m near the end, comes down 13% for 720 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.7, from 147 m to 352 m.
