Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 210 m early on, comes down 16% for 320 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 16% for 320 m midway, comes down 12% for 210 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.2–5.1, from 765 m to 853 m.
