Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 230 m early on, comes down 12% for 420 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.6–4.8, from 129 m to 311 m.
