Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 320 m early on, comes down 17% for 330 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 330 m early on, comes down 12% for 320 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 2.2–3.1, from 156 m to 90 m.
