Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 14% for 250 m midway, comes down 15% for 370 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 5.9 km, climbs 15% for 370 m near the end, comes down 14% for 250 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.6–4.7, from 170 m to 104 m.
