Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 19% for 300 m midway, comes down 18% for 770 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 6.6 km, climbs 18% for 770 m near the end, comes down 19% for 300 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.6–10.4, from 1156 m to 1559 m.
