Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 14% for 580 m midway, comes down 22% for 580 m near the end.

Clockwise: Climbs 22% for 580 m early on, comes down 14% for 580 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–1.9, from 261 m to 479 m.
