Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 15% for 900 m near the end, comes down 18% for 270 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 18% for 270 m near the end, comes down 15% for 900 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 1.2 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 6.3–9.1, from 522 m to 741 m.
