Which way round
As mapped: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 22% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.
Reversed: Easy first 6.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 22% for 200 m near the end.
Better as mapped: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 1.8–3.0, from 950 m to 1053 m.
