Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, no steep climbing, comes down 12% for 370 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 12% for 370 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 6.2–9.6, from 354 m to 124 m.
