Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.5 km, climbs 15% for 250 m midway, comes down 17% for 580 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 8.4 km, climbs 17% for 580 m near the end, comes down 15% for 250 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 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 8.4–10.4, from 1347 m to 1513 m.
