Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 11.6 km, climbs 14% for 280 m near the end, comes down 19% for 270 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.9 km, climbs 19% for 270 m near the end, comes down 14% for 280 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) 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 10.2–13.4, from 1231 m to 1383 m.
