Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 450 m early on, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 450 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–1.5, from 299 m to 443 m.
