Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 23% for 1000 m near the end, comes down 21% for 850 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 21% for 850 m midway, comes down 23% for 1000 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.3 km at 10%+, 2.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 9.1–11.3, from 382 m to 662 m.
