If you’re looking for a meaty climb on mostly grassy 4wd tracks, this is your trail. If you also like sliding and falling on you’re a55 a lot then go early in the morning to guarantee heavy dew. Very cold at the top and clouds came in fast so bring warm layers just in case. Also had crazy jelly jegs from running down but views were bonkers beautiful.

Just plain tough.... averaging 20% incline up for 4km... not only that but then you have to come down again... first time for a long time I have had jelly legs after a run. But the views... wow... wonderful top of the world views!
