Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 630 m early on, comes down 19% for 620 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.0 km, climbs 19% for 620 m near the end, comes down 14% for 630 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.1 km at 10%+, 1.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.0–8.8, from 380 m to 691 m.
