Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 350 m early on, comes down 15% for 350 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 15% for 350 m midway, comes down 14% for 350 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 7.1–9.6, from 808 m to 947 m.
