Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.7 km, climbs 12% for 350 m early on, comes down 39% for 200 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 28.5 km, climbs 39% for 200 m near the end, comes down 12% for 350 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 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 3.1–5.3, from 90 m to 10 m.
