Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.8 km, climbs 20% for 1480 m midway, comes down 17% for 930 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 930 m near the end, comes down 20% for 1480 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.7 km at 10%+, 2.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.8–8.3, from 985 m to 1547 m.
