Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.8 km, climbs 13% for 300 m near the end, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.7 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 300 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+) 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 9.6–11.3, from 321 m to 439 m.
