Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 25% for 950 m midway, comes down 18% for 900 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 900 m early on, comes down 25% for 950 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3 km at 10%+, 3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 14.0–21.0, from 1317 m to 470 m.
