Which way round
Anticlockwise: Climbs 24% for 1500 m near the end, comes down 17% for 1020 m early on.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 1020 m near the end, comes down 24% for 1500 m early on.
Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (4.4 km at 10%+, 3 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.8 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
