Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 18% for 950 m early on, comes down 19% for 590 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 19% for 590 m near the end, comes down 18% for 950 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.9–4.6, from 1441 m to 1758 m.
