Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 13% for 570 m near the end, comes down 19% for 1020 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.3 km, climbs 19% for 1020 m midway, comes down 13% for 570 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1 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 6.3–10.2, from 450 m to 818 m.
