Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 1070 m early on, comes down 12% for 1380 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 1380 m early on, comes down 23% for 1070 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.5–9.7, from 2001 m to 1481 m.
