Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 300 m midway, comes down 17% for 200 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 200 m midway, comes down 15% for 300 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.4 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.
