Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 520 m early on, comes down 20% for 800 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 800 m midway, comes down 15% for 520 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 6.0–8.5, from 306 m to 126 m.
