Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 13% for 350 m midway, comes down 15% for 200 m near the end.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 15% for 200 m early on, comes down 13% for 350 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.8 km at 10%+, 0.2 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.7–4.7, from 681 m to 861 m.
