Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 23.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 11% for 320 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 11% for 320 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.4–4.7, from 237 m to 164 m.
