Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 230 m early on, comes down 17% for 350 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 17% for 350 m near the end, comes down 16% for 230 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 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 642 m to 781 m.
