Which way round
As mapped: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 25% for 350 m near the end, comes down 15% for 380 m midway.
Reversed: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 15% for 380 m midway, comes down 25% for 350 m early on.
Better as mapped: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 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 3.0–4.1, from 96 m to 233 m.
