Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 22.9 km, climbs 18% for 230 m midway, comes down 15% for 470 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 12.0 km, climbs 15% for 470 m midway, comes down 18% for 230 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) 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 32.5–34.5, from 124 m to 302 m.
