Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.2 km, climbs 16% for 1470 m midway, comes down 20% for 530 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 530 m early on, comes down 16% for 1470 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.5 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 3.2–7.1, from 835 m to 1204 m.
