Which way round

Clockwise: Easy first 2.8 km, climbs 17% for 220 m early on, no steep descents.

Anticlockwise: No steep climbing, comes down 17% for 220 m midway.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.2 km at 10%+, 0.2 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 2.8–3.9, from 107 m to 168 m.
