Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 19% for 400 m early on, comes down 13% for 280 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 13% for 280 m early on, comes down 19% for 400 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 1.3–3.4, from 85 m to 251 m.
