Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 5.4 km, climbs 13% for 220 m midway, no steep descents.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 4.6 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 220 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+) and come down no steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 11.6–13.5, from 167 m to 269 m.
