Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 530 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 530 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–1.9, from 777 m to 918 m.
