Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 27% for 1230 m near the end, comes down 24% for 1150 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.2 km, climbs 24% for 1150 m early on, comes down 27% for 1230 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (4.1 km at 10%+, 4.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 8.6–12.4, from 929 m to 1511 m.
