Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 250 m near the end, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 17% for 250 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 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 0.0–1.6, from 1006 m to 1122 m.
