Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 700 m near the end, comes down 14% for 550 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 14% for 550 m midway, comes down 19% for 700 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 1.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.6–11.6, from 505 m to 776 m.
