Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 700 m early on, comes down 15% for 350 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 15% for 350 m early on, comes down 23% for 700 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.5–10.8, from 1746 m to 1386 m.
