Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.8 km, no steep climbing, comes down 18% for 230 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 12.1 km, climbs 18% for 230 m midway, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) 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 12.1–14.5, from 88 m to 180 m.
