Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 780 m early on, comes down 14% for 770 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.1 km, climbs 14% for 770 m midway, comes down 16% for 780 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.5–6.5, from 812 m to 527 m.
