Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 15% for 200 m early on, comes down 21% for 380 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.9 km, climbs 21% for 380 m near the end, comes down 15% for 200 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.9–7.4, from 406 m to 537 m.
