Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 17% for 350 m near the end, comes down 21% for 300 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 6.0 km, climbs 21% for 300 m midway, comes down 17% for 350 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 21.9–23.6, from 113 m to 239 m.
