Which way round
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 17% for 270 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 270 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) 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 0.0–2.3, from 1058 m to 1231 m.
