Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 430 m early on, comes down 15% for 750 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.3 km, climbs 15% for 750 m midway, comes down 14% for 430 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 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 7.9–10.1, from 884 m to 1105 m.
