Which way round

Anticlockwise: Easy first 1.3 km, climbs 15% for 230 m early on, comes down 21% for 250 m early on.

Clockwise: Easy first 3.9 km, climbs 21% for 250 m near the end, comes down 15% for 230 m near the end.

Better clockwise: you climb the steeper side (0.6 km at 10%+, 0.3 km of it 15%+) and come down 0.2 km of steep ground. Steep descents are where people slip, and they're harder on knees late in a walk.

Main climb: km 3.9–4.8, from 399 m to 490 m.
