Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 14% for 320 m near the end, comes down 11% for 250 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 11% for 250 m midway, comes down 14% for 320 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) 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 1.3–4.0, from 1215 m to 1033 m.
