Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 16% for 450 m near the end, comes down 17% for 320 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 6.0 km, climbs 17% for 320 m midway, comes down 16% for 450 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 7.6–9.3, from 454 m to 328 m.
