Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 1200 m early on, comes down 39% for 480 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 39% for 480 m near the end, comes down 14% for 1200 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 15.3–16.8, from 328 m to 540 m.
