Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 14% for 1550 m midway, comes down 17% for 1900 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 1900 m near the end, comes down 14% for 1550 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.2 km at 10%+, 3.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.7–11.0, from 1062 m to 246 m.
