Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 18% for 800 m midway, comes down 15% for 750 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 750 m near the end, comes down 18% for 800 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 1.4 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 6.2–10.1, from 654 m to 272 m.
