Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 18% for 1120 m early on, comes down 14% for 270 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 270 m midway, comes down 18% for 1120 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.5 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 6.0–13.0, from 408 m to 129 m.
