Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 920 m early on, comes down 18% for 970 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 970 m near the end, comes down 16% for 920 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.7 km at 10%+, 2.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
