Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 1880 m early on, comes down 15% for 1730 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 15% for 1730 m midway, comes down 13% for 1880 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.9 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.8–6.5, from 2111 m to 2643 m.
