Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 15% for 850 m midway, comes down 24% for 720 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 24% for 720 m near the end, comes down 15% for 850 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.1–7.1, from 1310 m to 836 m.
