Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.9 km, climbs 13% for 280 m near the end, comes down 19% for 400 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 3.4 km, climbs 19% for 400 m midway, comes down 13% for 280 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 0.5–3.4, from 1167 m to 942 m.
