Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 21% for 1550 m early on, comes down 21% for 650 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 650 m midway, comes down 21% for 1550 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.7 km at 10%+, 2.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.7–8.7, from 1232 m to 615 m.
