Anticlockwise

Recommended

Clockwise

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 320 m near the end, comes down 15% for 380 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 15% for 380 m near the end, comes down 18% for 320 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.6–1.4, from 20 m to 94 m.
