Summer 2022: Rhizome can be accessed by a new climb trail (Red Tape / Nikkei climb), which is WAY better than the road climb. The new climb starts on the west side of the Nikkei mountain.
The top half of Rhizome is the more popular route, connecting into Banzai Express Lane and then over to Woodcutter.
