Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 260 m early on, comes down 19% for 620 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 620 m early on, comes down 17% for 260 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 0.8–2.9, from 1159 m to 987 m.
