Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 27% for 900 m early on, comes down 20% for 570 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 20% for 570 m midway, comes down 27% for 900 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.9 km at 10%+, 2.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.9–11.6, from 531 m to 86 m.
