Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 250 m near the end, comes down 25% for 1600 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.1 km, climbs 25% for 1600 m midway, comes down 13% for 250 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.1–7.0, from 1324 m to 1786 m.
