Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 16% for 600 m near the end, comes down 16% for 620 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.0 km, climbs 16% for 620 m midway, comes down 16% for 600 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 4.2–7.3, from 376 m to 188 m.
