Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 15% for 1080 m early on, comes down 20% for 550 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 550 m midway, comes down 15% for 1080 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.6–4.7, from 564 m to 897 m.
