Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 11.9 km, climbs 15% for 470 m near the end, comes down 14% for 300 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 12.1 km, climbs 14% for 300 m midway, comes down 15% for 470 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 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 11.9–13.7, from 261 m to 427 m.
