Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 14% for 450 m midway, comes down 18% for 970 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 970 m early on, comes down 14% for 450 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 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 0.0–3.1, from 1491 m to 1722 m.
