Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.7 km, no steep climbing, comes down 14% for 320 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 6.9 km, climbs 14% for 320 m near the end, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.9–9.1, from 107 m to 227 m.
