Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 400 m early on, no steep descents.

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 15% for 400 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) 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 0.5–1.3, from 125 m to 56 m.
