Which way round
Anticlockwise: Easy first 3.1 km, climbs 25% for 930 m midway, comes down 17% for 1330 m near the end.
Clockwise: Climbs 17% for 1330 m early on, comes down 25% for 930 m early on.
Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (2.4 km at 10%+, 2.4 km of it 15%+) and come down 1.5 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.
Main descent: km 6.7–11.9, from 593 m to 174 m.
