Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 13.8 km, climbs 13% for 420 m near the end, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 420 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 13.8–14.6, from 702 m to 769 m.
