Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 19% for 400 m near the end, comes down 23% for 200 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 23% for 200 m early on, comes down 19% for 400 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 9.9–11.8, from 1196 m to 1068 m.
