Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.6 km, climbs 17% for 530 m midway, comes down 15% for 620 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.6 km, climbs 15% for 620 m near the end, comes down 17% for 530 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.6–8.5, from 202 m to 461 m.
