Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 250 m midway, comes down 18% for 420 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 18% for 420 m near the end, comes down 17% for 250 m early on.
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 0.4–1.5, from 260 m to 178 m.
