Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 12% for 450 m early on, no steep descents.

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 12% for 450 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 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 5.0–7.4, from 13 m to 102 m.
