Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 7.0 km, climbs 14% for 500 m near the end, comes down 13% for 280 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.2 km, climbs 13% for 280 m midway, comes down 14% for 500 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.0–10.4, from 506 m to 749 m.
