Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, climbs 13% for 500 m near the end, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 13% for 500 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+) 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 9.6–15.1, from 1568 m to 1886 m.
