Which way round
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 13% for 350 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 350 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 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 1.5–3.1, from 231 m to 277 m.
