Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 570 m early on, comes down 17% for 1470 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 17% for 1470 m early on, comes down 16% for 570 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 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 1172 m to 1462 m.
