Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 850 m early on, comes down 17% for 1470 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 1470 m early on, comes down 17% for 850 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.5 km at 10%+, 1.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–5.2, from 648 m to 1191 m.
