Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 250 m early on, no steep descents.

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 250 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 5.5–8.8, from 251 m to 381 m.
