Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 14% for 600 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, no steep climbing, comes down 14% for 600 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+) 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 2.7–4.3, from 330 m to 468 m.
