Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 1030 m early on, comes down 14% for 600 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 14% for 600 m midway, comes down 18% for 1030 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) 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 0.0–2.9, from 925 m to 1193 m.
