Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 2480 m early on, no steep descents.

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 21% for 2480 m early on.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.5 km at 10%+, 3.5 km of it 15%+) 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 0.0–4.3, from 1345 m to 2096 m.
