Which way round
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 19% for 250 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 19% for 250 m midway, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 1.2–1.8, from 20 m to 76 m.
