Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 380 m early on, comes down 17% for 380 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 17% for 380 m near the end, comes down 13% for 380 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.9–4.5, from 1792 m to 1914 m.
