Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 14% for 320 m midway, comes down 11% for 280 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 11% for 280 m early on, comes down 14% for 320 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.5–4.0, from 395 m to 594 m.
