Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 19.8 km, climbs 21% for 450 m near the end, comes down 15% for 750 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.8 km, climbs 15% for 750 m near the end, comes down 21% for 450 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 23.1–28.4, from 820 m to 1150 m.
