Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 330 m early on, comes down 13% for 250 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 13% for 250 m midway, comes down 20% for 330 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.9–4.6, from 600 m to 430 m.
