Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.1 km, climbs 21% for 480 m early on, no steep descents.

Clockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 21% for 480 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.5 km at 10%+, 0.5 km of it 15%+) 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 1.1–1.8, from 72 m to 184 m.
