Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 15% for 750 m midway, comes down 15% for 400 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 15% for 400 m early on, comes down 15% for 750 m midway.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 6.4–7.8, from 1759 m to 1895 m.
