Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 900 m early on, comes down 13% for 270 m near the end.

Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 270 m early on, comes down 12% for 900 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+) 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 8.0–11.1, from 1149 m to 899 m.
