Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.5 km, climbs 20% for 700 m early on, comes down 16% for 350 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 16% for 350 m midway, comes down 20% for 700 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 5.7–8.0, from 259 m to 104 m.
