Good in both directions. Steep and tight at the bottom then a final and difficult steep rocky section at the top when climbing. In descent the rocky section is committing and you need to hit the singletrack exit. Can be walked in either direction. Narrow Mynd Singletrack with a section of Boardwalk on the marshy top.

Access Info

Head up Batch Valley then take the tight hairpin right at the head of the valley. For descent go across the North Shore boardwalk and continue, bearing right at a fork to valley floor.
