Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.6 km, no steep climbing, comes down 17% for 300 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.4 km, climbs 17% for 300 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.5–4.6, from 172 m to 67 m.
