Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 28% for 2490 m near the end, comes down 30% for 2200 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 9.2 km, climbs 30% for 2200 m midway, comes down 28% for 2490 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (6.4 km at 10%+, 6.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 3.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 11.0–16.1, from 977 m to 1988 m.
