Which way round

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 21% for 300 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 300 m midway, no steep descents.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.5 km at 10%+, 1.4 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 14.5–16.3, from 152 m to 45 m.
