Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 16% for 500 m midway, comes down 18% for 250 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 18% for 250 m midway, comes down 16% for 500 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 2.3–3.4, from 133 m to 221 m.
