Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 1200 m early on, comes down 16% for 580 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 16% for 580 m midway, comes down 12% for 1200 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.4 km at 10%+, 0.8 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 4.2–10.4, from 1730 m to 1276 m.
