Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 8.8 km, climbs 25% for 3300 m near the end, comes down 20% for 3700 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 6.4 km, climbs 20% for 3700 m midway, comes down 25% for 3300 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (9.1 km at 10%+, 9.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 4.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 15.0–21.4, from 695 m to 2089 m.
