Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.6 km, climbs 18% for 250 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 18% for 250 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 4.6–7.6, from 125 m to 287 m.
