Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.2 km, climbs 11% for 400 m near the end, comes down 14% for 380 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.4 km, climbs 14% for 380 m midway, comes down 11% for 400 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 0.5–3.8, from 759 m to 582 m.
