Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 15% for 320 m early on, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 15% for 320 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 7.6–10.7, from 286 m to 157 m.
