Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 19% for 300 m near the end, comes down 18% for 350 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.2 km, climbs 18% for 350 m near the end, comes down 19% for 300 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 5.2–8.1, from 16 m to 254 m.
