Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 18% for 480 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, no steep climbing, comes down 18% for 480 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 1.2–3.3, from 142 m to 249 m.
