Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 18% for 1920 m early on, comes down 18% for 1380 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 1380 m near the end, comes down 18% for 1920 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.4 km at 10%+, 2.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 2.4–6.0, from 986 m to 1507 m.
