Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 17% for 350 m near the end, comes down 24% for 680 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.0 km, climbs 24% for 680 m midway, comes down 17% for 350 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 0.0–3.0, from 2338 m to 2052 m.
