Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 17% for 400 m near the end, comes down 18% for 1080 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.5 km, climbs 18% for 1080 m midway, comes down 17% for 400 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.9 km at 10%+, 1.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.5–7.8, from 799 m to 1146 m.
