Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 780 m midway, comes down 22% for 720 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 22% for 720 m near the end, comes down 19% for 780 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.8–11.8, from 1303 m to 1715 m.
