Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 250 m early on, comes down 19% for 420 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 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 2.9–4.6, from 640 m to 537 m.
