Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.9 km, climbs 18% for 600 m midway, comes down 18% for 230 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 18% for 230 m midway, comes down 18% for 600 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.9–6.8, from 1276 m to 1504 m.
