Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 500 m early on, comes down 14% for 400 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 400 m early on, comes down 17% for 500 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.3, from 372 m to 580 m.
