Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 11.7 km, climbs 15% for 200 m near the end, comes down 21% for 1120 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 8.4 km, climbs 21% for 1120 m midway, comes down 15% for 200 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.4–10.6, from 842 m to 1185 m.
