Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 550 m early on, comes down 15% for 370 m near the end.

Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 370 m early on, comes down 12% for 550 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–2.5, from 132 m to 290 m.
