Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 520 m midway, comes down 18% for 670 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.4 km, climbs 18% for 670 m midway, comes down 14% for 520 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 8.7–10.8, from 709 m to 897 m.
