Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 1680 m early on, comes down 13% for 1050 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 1050 m early on, comes down 18% for 1680 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.9 km at 10%+, 1.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.5–2.8, from 354 m to 629 m.
