Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.3 km, climbs 17% for 450 m midway, comes down 15% for 830 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 15% for 830 m early on, comes down 17% for 450 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 7.9–9.6, from 159 m to 4 m.
