Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 21% for 550 m midway, comes down 12% for 400 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 9.2 km, climbs 12% for 400 m midway, comes down 21% for 550 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.1–10.5, from 86 m to 242 m.
