Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.7 km, climbs 18% for 480 m near the end, comes down 13% for 200 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.2 km, climbs 13% for 200 m midway, comes down 18% for 480 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) 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 11.8–14.0, from 869 m to 1050 m.
