Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.4 km, climbs 16% for 330 m near the end, comes down 18% for 400 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 18% for 400 m early on, comes down 16% for 330 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.0–1.5, from 220 m to 98 m.
