Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 16% for 300 m midway, comes down 16% for 580 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.1 km, climbs 16% for 580 m midway, comes down 16% for 300 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 4.8–7.7, from 911 m to 725 m.
