Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 20% for 660 m midway, comes down 19% for 370 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 19% for 370 m midway, comes down 20% for 660 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.0–6.7, from 227 m to 44 m.
