Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 24% for 200 m early on, comes down 13% for 450 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 450 m early on, comes down 24% for 200 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.3–7.8, from 305 m to 107 m.
