Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 26% for 370 m early on, comes down 20% for 520 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 520 m midway, comes down 26% for 370 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.8–3.3, from 185 m to 394 m.
