Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 2050 m early on, comes down 23% for 2530 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 3.3 km, climbs 23% for 2530 m near the end, comes down 20% for 2050 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (6.5 km at 10%+, 5.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 13.7–24.9, from 2649 m to 1569 m.
