Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.3 km, climbs 22% for 380 m midway, comes down 17% for 1250 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.8 km, climbs 17% for 1250 m midway, comes down 22% for 380 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.0–3.8, from 1022 m to 689 m.
