Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 900 m early on, comes down 14% for 330 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 330 m early on, comes down 13% for 900 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.5 km at 10%+, 1 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 6.1–14.9, from 1353 m to 799 m.
