Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 16% for 700 m near the end, comes down 20% for 530 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 530 m early on, comes down 16% for 700 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.3–8.1, from 1089 m to 1336 m.
