Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, no steep climbing, comes down 25% for 220 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 25% for 220 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 0.0–1.0, from 118 m to 32 m.
