Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 500 m early on, comes down 20% for 650 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 650 m early on, comes down 13% for 500 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 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 0.6–4.1, from 640 m to 885 m.
