Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 16% for 1180 m midway, comes down 17% for 750 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 750 m near the end, comes down 16% for 1180 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.0–2.6, from 1368 m to 1581 m.
