Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 13% for 920 m early on, comes down 18% for 1100 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.4 km, climbs 18% for 1100 m near the end, comes down 13% for 920 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.4–4.4, from 1918 m to 1655 m.
