Which way round

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 530 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 530 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 0.0–1.3, from 277 m to 400 m.
