Which way round

Anticlockwise: Climbs 42% for 2580 m early on, comes down 24% for 1710 m midway.

Clockwise: Climbs 24% for 1710 m midway, comes down 42% for 2580 m near the end.

Better anticlockwise: you climb the steeper side (5.7 km at 10%+, 5.7 km of it 15%+) and come down 3.7 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 0.8–6.0, from 426 m to 1649 m.
