Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 780 m early on, comes down 17% for 630 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 630 m early on, comes down 16% for 780 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.3 km at 10%+, 1.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.1 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 2.0–4.9, from 1582 m to 1325 m.
