Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 220 m early on, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 220 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 0.8–2.0, from 67 m to 3 m.
