Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 20% for 280 m early on, comes down 15% for 250 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.9 km, climbs 15% for 250 m early on, comes down 20% for 280 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) 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 10.2–11.6, from 165 m to 67 m.
