Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 20% for 200 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 20% for 200 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 1.3–3.1, from 334 m to 473 m.
