Which way round

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 14% for 350 m near the end.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 350 m early on, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 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 climb: km 0.0–1.1, from 88 m to 195 m.
