Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 530 m early on, comes down 16% for 350 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 350 m midway, comes down 18% for 530 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.1–3.4, from 814 m to 666 m.
