Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 350 m early on, comes down 11% for 330 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 11% for 330 m midway, comes down 16% for 350 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.9–3.7, from 190 m to 19 m.
