Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 1470 m early on, comes down 13% for 380 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 380 m midway, comes down 18% for 1470 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.5–10.3, from 2162 m to 1738 m.
