Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 430 m near the end, comes down 14% for 470 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 14% for 470 m midway, comes down 18% for 430 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.8–5.6, from 553 m to 401 m.
