Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 12% for 850 m early on, comes down 14% for 250 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.6 km, climbs 14% for 250 m midway, comes down 12% for 850 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.2–3.1, from 199 m to 359 m.
