Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.2 km, climbs 20% for 380 m midway, comes down 14% for 520 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 14% for 520 m midway, comes down 20% for 380 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.2–5.7, from 1144 m to 1352 m.
