Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 550 m early on, comes down 17% for 1150 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 1150 m early on, comes down 17% for 550 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (3.4 km at 10%+, 2.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
