Which way round

Clockwise: Climbs 20% for 900 m early on, comes down 18% for 970 m midway.

Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 970 m midway, comes down 20% for 900 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main descent: km 2.7–7.5, from 1236 m to 834 m.
