Which way round

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 18% for 200 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: 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 0.0–2.0, from 156 m to 262 m.
