Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 29% for 470 m early on, comes down 19% for 1450 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, climbs 19% for 1450 m midway, comes down 29% for 470 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.4 km at 10%+, 3.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.7–8.9, from 1928 m to 2553 m.
