Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 28% for 620 m near the end, comes down 16% for 1300 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 8.3 km, climbs 16% for 1300 m midway, comes down 28% for 620 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.5–4.8, from 1145 m to 849 m.
