Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 900 m early on, comes down 23% for 280 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 23% for 280 m midway, comes down 21% for 900 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 1.1–3.6, from 521 m to 334 m.
