If Trickle Falls is not your cup of tea, then this will be a cup of cold sick. Very steep, rocky, and with more than a few sketchy chutes/drops (grade 5+ to 6). Not for the inexperienced (especially when wet) and should be attempted only on 160mm+ enduro or downhill specific bikes.
Access Info
Starts from the steep road up to the Towai Towers. From the ECNZ Road / Mt Towai road intersection, ride up the steep road, and after the second corner (sharp left) you will see a hole in the bush on the left.
(there is an alternative entrance at the ECNZ Road / Mt Towai intersection)
When you are at the bottom of Morepork and come face to face with a fence, go left and left again, walking your bike up the hump to Wainui Road. Be respectful as this last bit is private property,
Traditionally Indigenous Territory

Such a good ride...????????


Top part reminded me of the Deliverence rock garden (Makera) but on steroids. Cleaned it first time so based on this found it harder than Yeah Gnah @Makera.
Enjoy!
