Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 550 m midway, comes down 13% for 350 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 350 m early on, comes down 12% for 550 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) 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 6.3–10.4, from 334 m to 121 m.
