Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 11% for 330 m midway, comes down 16% for 350 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 6.4 km, climbs 16% for 350 m midway, comes down 11% for 330 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 11.7–14.7, from 114 m to 339 m.
