Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 650 m early on, comes down 20% for 1070 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 1070 m early on, comes down 17% for 650 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 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 1179 m to 1480 m.
