Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 260 m early on, comes down 15% for 870 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 15% for 870 m midway, comes down 17% for 260 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 6.4–9.5, from 817 m to 1032 m.
