Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 16% for 830 m midway, comes down 22% for 220 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 22% for 220 m near the end, comes down 16% for 830 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 0.0–3.0, from 1633 m to 1424 m.
