Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 10.4 km, climbs 17% for 750 m near the end, comes down 14% for 380 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 14% for 380 m midway, comes down 17% for 750 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.9 km at 10%+, 1.9 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 10.4–14.3, from 1130 m to 1554 m.
