Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 14% for 820 m midway, comes down 11% for 250 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.5 km, climbs 11% for 250 m near the end, comes down 14% for 820 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.8–5.1, from 1146 m to 1311 m.
