Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 20% for 2400 m early on, comes down 20% for 700 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 700 m midway, comes down 20% for 2400 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.7 km at 10%+, 2.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 2.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.5–9.3, from 2287 m to 1708 m.
