Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 15% for 550 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 550 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+) 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 4.2–6.4, from 182 m to 376 m.
