Tricky little steep climb from the Crater Rim trail and Summit Road. Well worth a detour if you are following the Crater Rim trail.

The Tors is a prominent Port Hills landmark from both the Christchurch and Lyttelton sides of the hills. Access is on a formed trail off the crater Rim Track, with spectacular and unique views from the summit marker (a Dept of Lands and Survey pole)
