Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, climbs 16% for 900 m midway, comes down 11% for 250 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.2 km, climbs 11% for 250 m midway, comes down 16% for 900 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.7–6.5, from 441 m to 638 m.
