Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 280 m early on, comes down 12% for 200 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 200 m midway, comes down 19% for 280 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 1.0–3.2, from 108 m to 7 m.
