Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 250 m early on, comes down 13% for 280 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 13% for 280 m midway, comes down 17% for 250 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.5–4.6, from 1731 m to 1526 m.
