Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 17% for 1820 m early on, comes down 17% for 570 m early on.

Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 570 m midway, comes down 17% for 1820 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (1.8 km at 10%+, 1.8 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.6 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.0–3.7, from 1138 m to 1541 m.
