Starting to get a bit rough in places and needs a good trim, but still a fun ride.

The now compulsory retained gap to go over the slip will be challenging for a lot of riders, even those confident on black/G5 trails. Timber lip is starting to protrude and you have a tiny landing before a tight corner. Check before attempting. Rest is a solid intro to black/g5 trails as noted with some steeps, tight dropping corners and exposure.

Superb trail with excellent views out across the bay. Switchbacks, ramps, drops and rocky sections - fantastic fun and one of the best trails in the Wellington area.

This trail is a perfect end to superplus for advanced riders. A starter black, but is always dusty which makes it harder

Top half is a fun trail with fun little doubles and berms then turns into a pretty technical trail with tight turns

Bottom half could definitely be improved , it’s just a single track that goes straight down the hill, better off to go down Chur no ball instead.

I'd like to add, in my mind it is a starter black - so if you're looking for a manageable step past a dark blue, this is a good option since they've done some work supporting the exits to the switchbacks.

Gets bagged out because intermediate riders want to ride it but can't. Old superplis still exists and is a great way out for anyone not wanting to hit a.grade 5.
For those that like a bit of steep, you have an option too....

Absolutely no way in hell you could ride this unless you were an extremely advanced MTB rider or had balls the size of dinner plates. VERY dry, very sketchy turns and some drops onto narrow paths.

Great track with nice technical turns and a couple of drops as well. Can get some good speed up along the cliff side as well.

Starts strong with some big berms and well made jumps. Ends pretty poorly with some sketchy features, watch out for the blind corner near the bottom.
