Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 400 m midway, comes down 15% for 700 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 1.0 km, climbs 15% for 700 m midway, comes down 15% for 400 m midway.

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

Main climb: km 1.0–6.5, from 371 m to 614 m.
