Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 1180 m early on, comes down 17% for 630 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 630 m early on, comes down 21% for 1180 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.1, from 1798 m to 2101 m.
