Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 420 m early on, comes down 13% for 450 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 13% for 450 m early on, comes down 15% for 420 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–3.5, from 245 m to 514 m.
