Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 630 m early on, comes down 19% for 2100 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 19% for 2100 m early on, comes down 14% for 630 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.1 km at 10%+, 2.1 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 1.6–4.2, from 483 m to 917 m.
