Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 19% for 500 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, no steep climbing, comes down 19% for 500 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) 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 4.4–6.2, from 117 m to 6 m.
