Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 11% for 330 m near the end, comes down 20% for 300 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 20% for 300 m midway, comes down 11% for 330 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.5–7.1, from 132 m to 242 m.
