Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 500 m early on, comes down 15% for 200 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 15% for 200 m midway, comes down 19% for 500 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 2.4–5.2, from 293 m to 149 m.
