Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 300 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 20% for 300 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.9–1.3, from 465 m to 529 m.
