Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 300 m midway, no steep descents.

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 300 m midway.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.3 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–3.9, from 111 m to 275 m.
