Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 700 m early on, comes down 16% for 330 m near the end.

Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 330 m early on, comes down 14% for 700 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 29.6–33.8, from 1123 m to 834 m.
