Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 26% for 950 m midway, comes down 15% for 380 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 380 m midway, comes down 26% for 950 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.7–6.1, from 1286 m to 1551 m.
