Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 15% for 220 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 220 m early on.
Better clockwise: 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 2.0–3.8, from 96 m to 199 m.
