Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 8.4 km, climbs 16% for 520 m midway, comes down 14% for 630 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 13.9 km, climbs 14% for 630 m near the end, comes down 16% for 530 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.9 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.2–8.4, from 786 m to 366 m.
