Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 14% for 350 m near the end, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 14% for 350 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+) 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 1.1–2.6, from 323 m to 402 m.
