Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 1250 m early on, comes down 21% for 2000 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 2000 m early on, comes down 21% for 1250 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.4 km at 10%+, 2.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–4.7, from 1122 m to 1878 m.
