Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 400 m early on, comes down 14% for 200 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 14% for 200 m near the end, comes down 15% for 400 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.0–2.7, from 492 m to 405 m.
