Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 11% for 320 m early on, comes down 15% for 1000 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 1000 m midway, comes down 11% for 320 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.4–10.5, from 36 m to 296 m.
