Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 18% for 580 m midway, comes down 14% for 370 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 14% for 370 m near the end, comes down 18% for 580 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.0–1.9, from 785 m to 635 m.
