Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 800 m near the end, comes down 21% for 950 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.1 km, climbs 21% for 950 m midway, comes down 14% for 800 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.1–6.1, from 1244 m to 1630 m.
