Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 700 m early on, comes down 13% for 1000 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 13% for 1000 m midway, comes down 15% for 700 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.1 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.0–8.2, from 687 m to 1137 m.
