Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 550 m near the end, comes down 12% for 500 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 500 m midway, comes down 18% for 550 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.5–3.4, from 1153 m to 930 m.
