Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 270 m early on, comes down 13% for 880 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.4 km, climbs 13% for 880 m midway, comes down 18% for 270 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 9.2–13.6, from 1104 m to 1415 m.
