Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 14% for 400 m early on, comes down 12% for 250 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 250 m near the end, comes down 14% for 400 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.1–6.9, from 330 m to 721 m.
