Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 380 m early on, comes down 11% for 270 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 11% for 270 m early on, comes down 19% for 380 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 0.5–1.7, from 228 m to 141 m.
