Which way round
Clockwise: Easy first 6.2 km, no steep climbing, comes down 13% for 380 m early on.
Anticlockwise: Easy first 7.1 km, climbs 13% for 380 m midway, no steep descents.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.4 km at 10%+) 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 7.1–7.7, from 131 m to 190 m.
