Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 19% for 200 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: 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 0.0–0.5, from 76 m to 122 m.
