Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 650 m near the end, comes down 16% for 220 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 16% for 220 m midway, comes down 19% for 650 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 9.1–12.4, from 603 m to 369 m.
