Which way round

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 1150 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 16% for 1150 m midway, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 1.2 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 4.0–6.2, from 1119 m to 1378 m.
