Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 26% for 350 m early on, comes down 14% for 600 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 600 m early on, comes down 26% for 350 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.7–7.8, from 735 m to 437 m.
