250 East Climb follows an old logging trail previously left to be reclaimed by the forest. It has been cleared by hand and links to the downhill section of 250 East. The trail can be accessed by riding down Taniwha and turning left at the bottom intersection (left = 250 East Climb, right = Bee Line). Alternatively, it can be accessed by pushing up Bee Line, but keep your ears open as that is downhill primary and riders take it at speed with nowhere to bail out. There are plans for a climbing trail at a later date.

At present, 250 East Climb is an Advanced/Expert rated climb with 4 creek crossings, and multiple muddy rutted sections. The last creek crossing is right before the last climb which is steep, super steep, if you can climb it then you're an absolute weapon.

There are future plans to make this track an easier climb, but we'll get to that once we've finished having fun on 250 East DH. It'll never be an easy (green) or intermediate (blue) climb though.

	Sep 16, 2020 @ 12:10am Sep 16, 2020	Pretty wet right now. Lots of mud and wheel ruts all the way up.
	May 1, 2020 @ 8:38pm May 1, 2020	Culverts and drainage all pretty much done now. Running sweet
	Jan 17, 2020 @ 6:26pm Jan 17, 2020	Creeks have culverts, still a work in progress. Mainly dry a few muddy spots.
	Jan 7, 2020 @ 2:04am Jan 7, 2020	Muddy sections have been cleaned up a bit, and spring growth has been cleared. Creek crossings are rideable but challenging, as is the pinch climb...
