Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 400 m early on, comes down 15% for 750 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 750 m midway, comes down 19% for 400 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.8–4.7, from 242 m to 585 m.
