Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 630 m early on, comes down 15% for 1100 m midway.

Clockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 15% for 1100 m midway, comes down 20% for 630 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.3 km at 10%+, 2.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 5.8–9.7, from 586 m to 329 m.
