Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 11.4 km, climbs 18% for 650 m near the end, comes down 19% for 250 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 10.4 km, climbs 19% for 250 m midway, comes down 18% for 650 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 11.4–13.2, from 560 m to 723 m.
