Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 13% for 750 m midway, comes down 23% for 700 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 700 m early on, comes down 13% for 750 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 1.1 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 4.1–9.6, from 1768 m to 1307 m.
