Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 330 m near the end, comes down 19% for 620 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 620 m early on, comes down 17% for 330 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 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 730 m to 481 m.
