Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 320 m early on, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, no steep climbing, comes down 14% for 320 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.6–2.9, from 351 m to 255 m.
