Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 650 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 15% for 650 m near the end, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 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 2.7–4.1, from 148 m to 279 m.
