Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 7.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 11% for 270 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 11% for 270 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 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 2.5–5.0, from 1623 m to 1771 m.
