Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 14% for 700 m midway, comes down 16% for 350 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.6 km, climbs 16% for 350 m midway, comes down 14% for 700 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.8–10.2, from 989 m to 1160 m.
