Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.9 km, climbs 13% for 500 m near the end, comes down 15% for 380 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 4.8 km, climbs 15% for 380 m midway, comes down 13% for 500 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.8–7.6, from 899 m to 1075 m.
