Which way round

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 300 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 16% for 300 m midway, no steep descents.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 2.9–4.9, from 81 m to 215 m.
