Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 190 m near the end, comes down 11% for 630 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.4 km, climbs 11% for 630 m midway, comes down 14% for 190 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.4–4.2, from 570 m to 824 m.
