Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 14% for 380 m early on, comes down 12% for 1450 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 12% for 1450 m early on, comes down 14% for 380 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.0–3.9, from 934 m to 1124 m.
