Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 3.6 km, climbs 15% for 410 m near the end, comes down 11% for 270 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.5 km, climbs 11% for 270 m midway, comes down 15% for 410 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.6–5.6, from 389 m to 469 m.
