Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 17% for 670 m midway, comes down 14% for 1000 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 1000 m early on, comes down 17% for 670 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.3–6.5, from 275 m to 55 m.
