Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 950 m early on, comes down 31% for 600 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 31% for 600 m midway, comes down 18% for 950 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.9–7.6, from 2414 m to 2010 m.
