Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 1300 m near the end, comes down 22% for 1670 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 22% for 1670 m midway, comes down 20% for 1300 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.2 km at 10%+, 3.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.8–11.8, from 427 m to 818 m.
