Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 460 m midway, comes down 22% for 270 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.4 km, climbs 22% for 270 m midway, comes down 23% for 460 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.4–4.7, from 702 m to 513 m.
