Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 19% for 470 m midway, comes down 19% for 1330 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 19% for 1330 m near the end, comes down 19% for 470 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.8–7.9, from 1878 m to 2201 m.
