Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 230 m early on, comes down 13% for 550 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 13% for 550 m early on, comes down 13% for 230 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 1.8–2.9, from 43 m to 167 m.
