Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 14% for 250 m midway, comes down 16% for 400 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 16% for 400 m early on, comes down 14% for 250 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 2.3–3.6, from 131 m to 256 m.
