Which way round
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 18% for 200 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 18% for 200 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 3.5–4.0, from 124 m to 176 m.
