Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 320 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 320 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 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 descent: km 1.0–2.3, from 165 m to 68 m.
