Moderately technical track dropping down towards Charles Plimmer Park. Everything on it can be rolled but also fun at speed with some air possible in sections.

Access Info

Best reached by riding from the summit carpark,down Hippies, then doing a hard right when you get to the main track. Head down the walking track about 100 Meters and Groms drops off to the left just before you get to the clearing.

dry in the important bits, wet at the bottom. Worth avoiding because Rock Drop is a complete mess

      Spicey AF at the start. Awesome trail, but a couple of parts are a hard 4. More technical than most Wellington 4’s such as Trevor or Pohatu.

      The WCC signage calls this a grade 3, but it is definitely harder than that.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
