Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 200 m early on, comes down 15% for 410 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 410 m early on, comes down 14% for 200 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 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 8.5–14.3, from 719 m to 446 m.
