Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 2450 m early on, comes down 15% for 980 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 980 m early on, comes down 21% for 2450 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.4 km at 10%+, 2.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 3.5–8.7, from 931 m to 365 m.
