Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 7.3 km, climbs 16% for 600 m midway, comes down 15% for 220 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.9 km, climbs 15% for 220 m midway, comes down 16% for 600 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.3–12.7, from 1345 m to 1743 m.
