Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 12% for 280 m near the end, comes down 15% for 580 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 15% for 580 m midway, comes down 12% for 280 m early on.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.9 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 3.8–6.8, from 1543 m to 1827 m.
