Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 400 m early on, comes down 15% for 200 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 15% for 200 m midway, comes down 18% for 400 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 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 2.5–5.2, from 287 m to 133 m.
