Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 220 m early on, comes down 19% for 500 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 19% for 500 m midway, comes down 18% for 220 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.2 km at 10%+, 0.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.8–4.6, from 1161 m to 1350 m.
