Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 1030 m early on, comes down 12% for 600 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 600 m midway, comes down 21% for 1030 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.2–7.3, from 890 m to 582 m.
