Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 1180 m early on, comes down 14% for 650 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 14% for 650 m midway, comes down 16% for 1180 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 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 0.0–4.9, from 1834 m to 2364 m.
