Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 13.0 km, climbs 15% for 520 m near the end, comes down 14% for 200 m near the end.
Clockwise: Easy first 4.0 km, climbs 14% for 200 m early on, comes down 15% for 520 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 8.7–11.4, from 1525 m to 1304 m.
