Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 14% for 220 m midway, comes down 16% for 480 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 16% for 480 m near the end, comes down 14% for 220 m early on.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 3.5–5.4, from 996 m to 1121 m.
