Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 550 m early on, comes down 18% for 800 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 18% for 800 m near the end, comes down 17% for 550 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.8 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 5.8–7.1, from 920 m to 1080 m.
