Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 12% for 220 m near the end, comes down 20% for 750 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 20% for 750 m early on, comes down 12% for 220 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.8 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 3.2–4.2, from 584 m to 742 m.
