Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, climbs 13% for 1200 m near the end, comes down 15% for 650 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 15% for 650 m near the end, comes down 13% for 1200 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.3 km at 10%+, 1.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 4.7–10.0, from 229 m to 721 m.
