Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 14% for 870 m near the end, comes down 16% for 880 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 5.3 km, climbs 16% for 880 m near the end, comes down 14% for 870 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.4 km at 10%+, 1.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 6.8–8.0, from 413 m to 562 m.
