Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 330 m early on, comes down 13% for 330 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.1 km, climbs 13% for 330 m early on, comes down 17% for 330 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.0–6.7, from 80 m to 152 m.
