Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, no steep climbing, comes down 19% for 370 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 13.5 km, climbs 19% for 370 m near the end, no steep descents.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 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 19.9–21.9, from 98 m to 13 m.
