Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 13% for 430 m near the end, comes down 18% for 750 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 18% for 750 m midway, comes down 13% for 430 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.9–4.3, from 1269 m to 1411 m.
