Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 680 m early on, comes down 16% for 870 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 870 m early on, comes down 16% for 680 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.5, from 532 m to 852 m.
