Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 300 m near the end, comes down 16% for 1650 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 16% for 1650 m midway, comes down 16% for 300 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.6 km at 10%+, 1.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.7–7.5, from 803 m to 1257 m.
