Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 16% for 250 m near the end, no steep descents.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, no steep climbing, comes down 16% for 250 m early on.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 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 0.5–2.0, from 239 m to 164 m.
