Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, no steep climbing, comes down 17% for 200 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 17% for 200 m early on, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) 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 2.3–3.5, from 90 m to 17 m.
