Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 14% for 250 m early on, comes down 19% for 230 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 19% for 230 m midway, comes down 14% for 250 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) 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 10.7–12.8, from 802 m to 931 m.
