Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 400 m early on, comes down 18% for 1460 m near the end.

Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 1460 m early on, comes down 13% for 400 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–3.4, from 390 m to 698 m.
