Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 1300 m midway, comes down 22% for 2320 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 22% for 2320 m early on, comes down 17% for 1300 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.2 km at 10%+, 3.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–4.2, from 933 m to 1691 m.
