Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 300 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 15% for 300 m near the end, no steep descents.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 0.0–1.8, from 216 m to 106 m.
