Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.4 km, climbs 12% for 350 m midway, comes down 15% for 950 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.8 km, climbs 15% for 950 m near the end, comes down 12% for 350 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 1.0–5.1, from 934 m to 707 m.
