Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 14% for 530 m early on, comes down 16% for 1850 m early on.
Clockwise: Easy first 2.7 km, climbs 16% for 1850 m midway, comes down 14% for 530 m near the end.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.2 km at 10%+, 1.9 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 2.7–5.1, from 1435 m to 1779 m.
