Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 770 m midway, comes down 16% for 750 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 750 m early on, comes down 23% for 770 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 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 3.4–6.1, from 17 m to 295 m.
