Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 230 m early on, comes down 18% for 450 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 18% for 450 m midway, comes down 12% for 230 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.2–3.3, from 83 m to 209 m.
