Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 15% for 200 m near the end, comes down 14% for 250 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 14% for 250 m midway, comes down 15% for 200 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.4 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 11.2–16.7, from 765 m to 546 m.
