Which way round
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 20% for 230 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 230 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 0.0–0.7, from 2088 m to 2153 m.
