Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 13% for 550 m early on, comes down 11% for 450 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 10.4 km, climbs 11% for 450 m near the end, comes down 13% for 550 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.2 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.
