Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 5.0 km, no steep climbing, comes down 12% for 450 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 450 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 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 0.0–2.2, from 87 m to 254 m.
