Which way round
Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 12% for 400 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 400 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 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 1.1–2.3, from 106 m to 59 m.
