Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 200 m midway, comes down 11% for 450 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 11% for 450 m early on, comes down 12% for 200 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 km at 10%+) 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 0.1–1.8, from 269 m to 388 m.
