Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.3 km, climbs 16% for 430 m midway, comes down 13% for 470 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 13% for 470 m midway, comes down 16% for 430 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 7.3–8.7, from 1084 m to 1188 m.
