It's not obvious looking on TF, or the trail map, but this is the climbing track. You can get to the very top with mostly singletrack but some gravel. Signs are mostly OK -- just confusing near the middle "hub" -- you want to take "Cross Track" to continue on the uphill route.
Great trailsystem, kudos to the builders!
