Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 350 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 14% for 350 m early on.
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 0.0–5.1, from 15 m to 246 m.
