Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 17% for 700 m midway, comes down 26% for 400 m early on.

Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.7 km, climbs 26% for 400 m midway, comes down 17% for 700 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 6.8–10.0, from 448 m to 216 m.
