Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 500 m early on, comes down 13% for 600 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 600 m early on, comes down 19% for 500 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–2.3, from 305 m to 612 m.
