Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 19% for 2200 m midway, comes down 19% for 270 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 270 m early on, comes down 19% for 2200 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.3–6.5, from 1521 m to 1956 m.
