Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 15% for 750 m midway, comes down 18% for 530 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 530 m early on, comes down 15% for 750 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 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 2.6–4.5, from 303 m to 519 m.
