Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, no steep climbing, comes down 16% for 330 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 330 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.3–5.5, from 432 m to 293 m.
