Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 300 m early on, comes down 19% for 520 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 520 m midway, comes down 13% for 300 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.8, from 1263 m to 1460 m.
