Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 35% for 550 m midway, comes down 33% for 650 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 33% for 650 m early on, comes down 35% for 550 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.7 km at 10%+, 1.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.2–6.9, from 187 m to 385 m.
