Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 14% for 300 m midway, comes down 16% for 200 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.6 km, climbs 16% for 200 m midway, comes down 14% for 300 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.1–6.3, from 208 m to 120 m.
