Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 14% for 520 m midway, comes down 13% for 420 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 13% for 420 m near the end, comes down 14% for 520 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.5–4.2, from 1136 m to 910 m.
