Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 12% for 350 m midway, comes down 21% for 600 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 21% for 600 m midway, comes down 12% for 350 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.9 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 10.7–13.6, from 550 m to 356 m.
