Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 19% for 680 m midway, comes down 16% for 1480 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 1480 m early on, comes down 19% for 680 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.5 km at 10%+, 2.5 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 1.8–5.2, from 991 m to 639 m.
