Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 12% for 450 m midway, comes down 12% for 450 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 450 m early on, comes down 12% for 450 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+) 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 13.6–16.6, from 667 m to 517 m.
