Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 16% for 320 m near the end, no steep descents.
Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 16% for 320 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.6 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 descent: km 2.4–4.2, from 536 m to 431 m.
