Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 600 m near the end, comes down 18% for 1250 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 18% for 1250 m early on, comes down 18% for 600 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.1–7.9, from 206 m to 445 m.
