Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 400 m midway, comes down 16% for 300 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 300 m early on, comes down 14% for 400 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 8.1–9.7, from 973 m to 841 m.
