Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 6.8 km, climbs 22% for 330 m midway, comes down 22% for 280 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 22% for 280 m early on, comes down 22% for 330 m midway.
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 6.8–9.8, from 244 m to 458 m.
