Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 18% for 630 m midway, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 18% for 630 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 2.2–3.3, from 80 m to 193 m.
