Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.0 km, climbs 17% for 400 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 17% for 400 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 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 5.0–6.5, from 59 m to 162 m.
