Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 18% for 800 m early on, comes down 14% for 830 m midway.
Clockwise: Climbs 14% for 830 m midway, comes down 18% for 800 m near the end.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 8.8–12.3, from 1356 m to 1690 m.
