Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 13% for 550 m near the end, comes down 14% for 370 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 370 m midway, comes down 13% for 550 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
