Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 450 m near the end, comes down 19% for 1000 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.7 km, climbs 19% for 1000 m midway, comes down 17% for 450 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.7 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 3.7–7.5, from 1002 m to 1406 m.
