Which way round
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 550 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 550 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+) 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 0.0–0.6, from 109 m to 198 m.
