Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 690 m near the end, comes down 23% for 800 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 23% for 800 m midway, comes down 20% for 690 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 10.8–16.1, from 1558 m to 2239 m.
