Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 500 m early on, comes down 24% for 400 m early on.

Clockwise: Climbs 24% for 400 m near the end, comes down 18% for 500 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–1.6, from 334 m to 514 m.
