Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 1120 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 13% for 1120 m midway, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 10.3–13.6, from 225 m to 32 m.
