Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 200 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 200 m early on.
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 0.6–1.0, from 192 m to 233 m.
