Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 13% for 420 m midway, comes down 19% for 1790 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 1790 m early on, comes down 13% for 420 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.7–11.0, from 900 m to 465 m.
