Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.6 km, climbs 18% for 500 m early on, no steep descents.
Clockwise: Easy first 10.4 km, no steep climbing, comes down 18% for 500 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 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 1.6–3.8, from 624 m to 759 m.
