Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 400 m early on, comes down 16% for 1550 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 16% for 1550 m midway, comes down 14% for 400 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.3–5.8, from 254 m to 551 m.
