Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 16% for 570 m early on, comes down 13% for 630 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 630 m near the end, comes down 16% for 570 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.1–4.0, from 1677 m to 1956 m.
