Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 13% for 600 m midway, comes down 19% for 500 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 19% for 500 m near the end, comes down 13% for 600 m midway.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.9 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 5.3–7.5, from 312 m to 608 m.
