Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 16% for 880 m midway, comes down 13% for 200 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 200 m near the end, comes down 16% for 880 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.8–6.1, from 581 m to 842 m.
