Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 22% for 250 m early on, comes down 15% for 370 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.1 km, climbs 15% for 370 m near the end, comes down 22% for 250 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.1–4.4, from 29 m to 132 m.
