Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 15% for 470 m midway, comes down 15% for 200 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.1 km, climbs 15% for 200 m early on, comes down 15% for 470 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.3–7.9, from 445 m to 666 m.
