Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 28% for 780 m early on, comes down 13% for 1100 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 1100 m early on, comes down 28% for 780 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.5–6.5, from 443 m to 175 m.
