Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 370 m early on, comes down 16% for 270 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 270 m early on, comes down 21% for 370 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 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.1–3.3, from 972 m to 843 m.
