Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 15% for 550 m near the end, comes down 25% for 350 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 25% for 350 m midway, comes down 15% for 550 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.1–2.7, from 1738 m to 1889 m.
