Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 230 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 230 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 2.3–4.9, from 320 m to 155 m.
