Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 16% for 470 m early on, comes down 17% for 1320 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 1320 m early on, comes down 16% for 470 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 1.6 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.3 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–3.6, from 832 m to 1219 m.
