Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 630 m early on, comes down 20% for 280 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 20% for 280 m midway, comes down 13% for 630 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–2.4, from 360 m to 530 m.
