Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 9.1 km, climbs 27% for 1350 m near the end, comes down 22% for 2030 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 22% for 2030 m near the end, comes down 27% for 1350 m early on.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (4.1 km at 10%+, 4.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 1.3–9.1, from 2653 m to 1671 m.
