Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 13% for 380 m early on, comes down 11% for 280 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.9 km, climbs 11% for 280 m near the end, comes down 13% for 380 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 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 17.0–19.8, from 625 m to 830 m.
