Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 13% for 320 m near the end, comes down 18% for 300 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 300 m near the end, comes down 13% for 320 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 0.8–3.3, from 1087 m to 909 m.
