Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 500 m early on, comes down 14% for 520 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 14% for 520 m midway, comes down 14% for 500 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.2–5.5, from 1126 m to 933 m.
