Which way round
Clockwise: Climbs 15% for 330 m early on, comes down 15% for 430 m midway.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.5 km, climbs 15% for 430 m midway, comes down 15% for 330 m midway.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.9 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 descent: km 3.1–5.7, from 314 m to 124 m.
