Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.9 km, climbs 14% for 200 m midway, comes down 16% for 650 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 650 m early on, comes down 14% for 200 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.7 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–3.1, from 2 m to 193 m.
