Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.1 km, climbs 16% for 200 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, no steep climbing, comes down 16% for 200 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 5.1–5.9, from 4 m to 73 m.
