Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 320 m midway, comes down 24% for 700 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 24% for 700 m near the end, comes down 19% for 320 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.9–8.0, from 2047 m to 2338 m.
