Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 1.2 km, climbs 21% for 430 m near the end, comes down 21% for 1830 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 21% for 1830 m early on, comes down 21% for 430 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (2 km at 10%+, 2 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.1–7.2, from 1678 m to 1179 m.
