Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.4 km, climbs 14% for 450 m near the end, comes down 14% for 770 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 14% for 770 m near the end, comes down 14% for 450 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 10.1–13.5, from 767 m to 962 m.
