Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 230 m midway, comes down 24% for 330 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 24% for 330 m early on, comes down 16% for 230 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.6–7.5, from 199 m to 98 m.
