Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 2.2 km, climbs 17% for 520 m near the end, comes down 16% for 400 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.8 km, climbs 16% for 400 m midway, comes down 17% for 520 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 1 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.2–3.1, from 170 m to 272 m.
