Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 250 m near the end, comes down 13% for 230 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 13% for 230 m midway, comes down 17% for 250 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 5.7–7.9, from 825 m to 647 m.
