Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 1850 m early on, comes down 22% for 3720 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 22% for 3720 m midway, comes down 17% for 1850 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (9.6 km at 10%+, 9.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.9–9.8, from 819 m to 2291 m.
