Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 2.6 km, climbs 16% for 500 m near the end, comes down 13% for 380 m midway.
Clockwise: Easy first 8.1 km, climbs 13% for 380 m early on, comes down 16% for 500 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.6 km at 10%+, 0.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.4 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 26.5–28.8, from 265 m to 89 m.
