Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 26% for 500 m early on, comes down 15% for 280 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 280 m midway, comes down 26% for 500 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 0.0–1.7, from 875 m to 1047 m.
