Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 11% for 240 m midway, comes down 12% for 1000 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 12% for 1000 m early on, comes down 11% for 240 m midway.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (1 km at 10%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main climb: km 0.0–1.6, from 229 m to 375 m.
