Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 470 m midway, comes down 23% for 550 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 23% for 550 m early on, comes down 16% for 470 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.4 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 43.4–45.9, from 709 m to 467 m.
