Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 300 m midway, comes down 15% for 250 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 250 m early on, comes down 14% for 300 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
