Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.5 km, climbs 15% for 270 m early on, comes down 12% for 740 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 12% for 740 m early on, comes down 15% for 270 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 9.3–13.6, from 611 m to 369 m.
