Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 17% for 650 m midway, comes down 18% for 1150 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 18% for 1150 m near the end, comes down 17% for 650 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.7 km at 10%+, 1.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.7–5.4, from 1496 m to 1252 m.
