Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 26% for 1230 m early on, comes down 25% for 670 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 25% for 670 m early on, comes down 26% for 1230 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.4–5.7, from 1175 m to 713 m.
