Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 1520 m midway, comes down 16% for 1950 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 16% for 1950 m midway, comes down 19% for 1520 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.3 km at 10%+, 3 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.6–5.2, from 786 m to 382 m.
