Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 16% for 250 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, no steep climbing, comes down 16% for 250 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.9–3.9, from 75 m to 152 m.
