Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 19% for 200 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 11.9–12.6, from 283 m to 230 m.
