Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 520 m early on, comes down 17% for 670 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 670 m early on, comes down 15% for 520 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.2–4.7, from 306 m to 126 m.
