Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.2 km, climbs 41% for 900 m near the end, comes down 26% for 1030 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 26% for 1030 m midway, comes down 41% for 900 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.2–9.2, from 729 m to 1344 m.
