Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.4 km, climbs 16% for 930 m near the end, comes down 22% for 330 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 22% for 330 m early on, comes down 16% for 930 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.6–10.6, from 1249 m to 1535 m.
