Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 300 m early on, comes down 19% for 950 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 950 m early on, comes down 13% for 300 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 3.4–5.5, from 101 m to 330 m.
