Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 200 m early on, comes down 15% for 430 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.4 km, climbs 15% for 430 m early on, comes down 14% for 200 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 6.8–8.6, from 941 m to 814 m.
