Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 680 m near the end, comes down 15% for 700 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 15% for 700 m midway, comes down 15% for 680 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.5–7.6, from 1151 m to 794 m.
