Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 8.7 km, climbs 19% for 670 m midway, comes down 20% for 1730 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 11.2 km, climbs 20% for 1730 m near the end, comes down 19% for 670 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.2 km at 10%+, 3.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 13.1–19.9, from 458 m to 1320 m.
