Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 32% for 200 m early on, comes down 31% for 520 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 31% for 520 m early on, comes down 32% for 200 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 0.7–2.4, from 599 m to 419 m.
