Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 450 m early on, comes down 16% for 230 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 16% for 230 m midway, comes down 18% for 450 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 4.6–7.2, from 526 m to 341 m.
