Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.7 km, climbs 16% for 350 m near the end, comes down 18% for 200 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 4.1 km, climbs 18% for 200 m midway, comes down 16% for 350 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.7–6.3, from 133 m to 203 m.
