Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 10.8 km, no steep climbing, comes down 19% for 250 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 6.0 km, climbs 19% for 250 m near the end, no steep descents.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 39.6–42.7, from 350 m to 200 m.
