Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 13% for 570 m early on, comes down 16% for 630 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 16% for 630 m near the end, comes down 13% for 570 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) 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 6.6–8.5, from 632 m to 834 m.
