Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 11% for 220 m near the end, comes down 27% for 470 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 27% for 470 m midway, comes down 11% for 220 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.9–4.5, from 1462 m to 1680 m.
