Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 12% for 630 m near the end, comes down 23% for 420 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 420 m midway, comes down 12% for 630 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.7–1.8, from 1981 m to 2105 m.
