Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 1420 m near the end, comes down 12% for 270 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 12% for 270 m midway, comes down 21% for 1420 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) 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 0.5–5.1, from 1880 m to 1496 m.
