Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 310 m early on, comes down 15% for 400 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 15% for 400 m midway, comes down 12% for 310 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.8–6.8, from 1126 m to 1396 m.
