Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 16% for 570 m midway, comes down 13% for 410 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 410 m early on, comes down 16% for 570 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 3.3–5.8, from 1338 m to 1565 m.
