Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 260 m near the end, comes down 21% for 320 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 320 m early on, comes down 15% for 260 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.4–1.3, from 339 m to 435 m.
