Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 400 m early on, comes down 20% for 520 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 20% for 520 m midway, comes down 20% for 400 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.3–6.3, from 1173 m to 1422 m.
