Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.7 km, climbs 15% for 520 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 520 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+) 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 1.7–2.5, from 77 m to 165 m.
