A 6-day route, walked in stages. 2,500 XP for the whole route, claimed with a photo from it.

Which way round

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 14% for 780 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 37.1 km, climbs 14% for 770 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (4 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 37.1–38.4, from 601 m to 695 m.
