Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 1400 m early on, comes down 19% for 830 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 19% for 830 m midway, comes down 19% for 1400 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.8 km at 10%+, 2.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.2–9.0, from 1005 m to 266 m.
