Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 15% for 650 m near the end, comes down 14% for 500 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 500 m near the end, comes down 15% for 650 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.7–6.4, from 311 m to 603 m.
