Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 8.1 km, climbs 12% for 330 m midway, comes down 14% for 1200 m near the end.

Clockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 14% for 1200 m early on, comes down 12% for 330 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+) 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 3.7–5.4, from 583 m to 776 m.
