Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 17% for 850 m midway, comes down 37% for 750 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 37% for 750 m early on, comes down 17% for 850 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.0–3.7, from 1636 m to 2020 m.
