A climbing trail that provides shelter from the sun and has created a good link when exiting Zone 3, with still a little fuel in the tank for just one more run before heading back to the carpark. This track links up and onto the main Zone 2 Taane’s Climb. Please use this trail rather than Bledisloe Road which is signposted for NO BIKES due to forestry traffic.
