Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 15% for 230 m midway, comes down 14% for 200 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 14% for 200 m early on, comes down 15% for 230 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.4–4.9, from 83 m to 215 m.
