Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 7.7 km, climbs 15% for 1830 m midway, comes down 17% for 1550 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 15.9 km, climbs 17% for 1550 m near the end, comes down 15% for 1830 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (5 km at 10%+, 3.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.0–7.7, from 2034 m to 1223 m.
