Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.2 km, climbs 15% for 580 m near the end, comes down 18% for 680 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 18% for 680 m midway, comes down 15% for 580 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+, 0.7 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 2.6–5.8, from 295 m to 546 m.
