Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 220 m early on, comes down 13% for 600 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.7 km, climbs 13% for 600 m near the end, comes down 19% for 220 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 1.7–3.9, from 320 m to 508 m.
