Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 20% for 300 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 300 m near the end, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.2–6.4, from 804 m to 901 m.
