Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.2 km, climbs 16% for 600 m midway, comes down 13% for 400 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 13% for 400 m early on, comes down 16% for 600 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.2–6.5, from 646 m to 768 m.
