Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 350 m midway, comes down 16% for 460 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 460 m early on, comes down 14% for 350 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.1 km at 10%+, 1.1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.9–5.2, from 357 m to 98 m.
