Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 13% for 500 m near the end, comes down 18% for 620 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 620 m midway, comes down 13% for 500 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.8, from 106 m to 305 m.
