Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 850 m early on, comes down 14% for 620 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 14% for 620 m early on, comes down 13% for 850 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.4–10.0, from 1160 m to 721 m.
