Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 12% for 770 m early on, comes down 13% for 280 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.4 km, climbs 13% for 280 m midway, comes down 12% for 770 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.2–5.1, from 473 m to 256 m.
