Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.1 km, climbs 14% for 650 m near the end, comes down 17% for 1100 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 7.6 km, climbs 17% for 1100 m near the end, comes down 14% for 650 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.6–10.0, from 1036 m to 1336 m.
